Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master（南部象棋大师） in 1977.He was given the silver（银） cup.

“Well,as you can guess.I wasn’t too happy. A player likes the opponent（对手） to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board（棋盘） in the garden. The game began .I hoped it would be quick-----and so it was.”

“Call me when you are ready,Mr Watson,”he said.

“When I was ready?” I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister,I studied the board-----and found I was driven into a corner. So it went on with David;a quick move,then tennis,back to the board,then back to his sister.My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh,so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner--in twenty-eight minutes.”
