Lestrange had taken advantage of his mistake, and from Ford's perspective it seemed the game was nearly over already. He didn't know how to get himself out of the situation he'd just created, so unless Lestrange made a comparable mistake it was only a matter of time before he started giving up pieces left, right, and center.
He couldn't really concentrate on this game and keep up a conversation about Gallivan, particularly since he'd never been particularly invested in the conversation to begin with. Ford took a second to examine the board, but didn't come up with anything particularly brilliant. He eventually chose a piece, but it was more stalling the inevitable than actual strategy. "Sorry, what were we talking about?" he asked after moving.
