Sent to the Master Physician, "Almond Orchard" Shih

Master Shih's medical fame, because of Master Ch'en,
has now reached here, to me.
In the mountains he walks, collecting herbs,
then sits in the market, with gourds of them to sell.
He has loved almond trees for over ten years,
and has planted a grove of several hundred.
As for me, my one illness is my craze for chess:
tell me, can your arts cure this?
