YUSUPOV AND A CHESS DREAM!

What are signs of obsession?
Is it thoughts all day,
Is it your energy diverted to it,
Almost to the point of no exit?

Yusupov was such a student of chess,
In his Bundesliga's game against Kotronias,
He settled for a draw,
But the thoughts stirred around in the mind,
Knowing there is something to find.

Yusupov dreamt of the position,
Finding the solution,
In the dream, bundled between his sleep,
With an analysis quite steep.

The players post match discussion,
Did not lead to this discovery,
The discovery that the dream churned,
Which was what reality yearned !
