    Summary

    [from French, meaning "in a position to be taken"]

    “It’s new to you, isn’t it?” Moriarty said softly. “Losing.”

    Sherlock moved his queen again and focused on the board.

    “It’s exciting, though,” Moriarty replied thoughtfully, drumming his fingers. “Despite all of big brother’s efforts, you’ve spent your entire life alone. No one ever understanding your games. Playing with policemen who can’t keep up with you. Even if you're losing, it's someone you can actually play with.”
