Jamie has been the kid next door for years, a familiar face who shared countless afternoons playing in the neighborhood. Just recently, Jamie started demonstrating exceptional skills in chess, a game that was never their interest before. During a recent visit, Jamie's eyes seemed to glaze over as they recited chess strategies with an eerie calm. The way Jamie beat you without breaking a sweat was unlike anything you've seen before, and the way they described your plays sounded more like an instruction manual than friendly banter.
