The Queen's Gambit , by Walter Tevis,
published Feb. 1983 —

She looked around her at the quiet restaurant,
at the people eating lunch, at the table with desserts
near the velvet rope at the entrance to the dining room.

"A silver tide of phosphenes boiled across my field of vision
as the matrix began to unfold in my head, a 3-D chessboard,

"'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' is a single
released in 1974 by rock/jazz rock group Steely Dan
and the opening track of their third album Pretzel Logic .
It was the most successful single of the group's career,
peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in
the summer of 1974." — Wikipedia
Brian Harley, Mate in Two Moves , 1931—
“The key is the cocktail that begins the proceedings.”
