Otis won the first two games, but it was a sham. The combatants had exchanged
their usual eye contact signals to decide who the winner was going to be. It
was no more real than a wrestling match.

After the first two losses the Rooster won the third game. He won it suddenly

theirs. The Rooster opened the game with a traditional X in the upper left hand
corner. Otis followed with the equally common O right in the center of the
board.
