I actually lived the life of chess grandeur. I was the ninth grade Chess Club intermediate level champion back in 19^&. The title was a real chick magnet. I immediately retired, wanting to go out, on my own terms, at the top of my game. I didn't want to end up having to get an Icelandic passport.
Since we're all such great friends, and I know none of you would report me to the authorities, I was sandbagging the Chess Club. I really should have been playing in the high level tournament, but I knew that I couldn't compete with those kids. Golf is the gentleman's game, not chess, right?
