Fact about me: I have played several hundred chess games in my life, and never won a single one. Not even once.

The funniest loss was to a seven-year-old in a Cracker Barrel when I was sixteen or seventeen. I mean, I knew I’d lose but everyone else watching was shocked. I was in the chess club in high school in my successful attempt to be more social. By the way, I try to win all the matches. I’ve never deliberately lost. Just no talent.

Chess is like math for me. Have no idea what’s going on, nor why. Nor any hope of figuring it out. But I still had fun in the club.
