Chaon won the tournament, and refuses to let a small thing like the fact that all the other participants were a third his age detract from the sweet victory. Besides, some of those kids were pretty good. Like the old saying goes, youth and skill are no match for... me. Not in chess, anyway.
Game 2: Chaon fights tooth and nail to beat a formidable opponent
Me: "My God. I've just gotten my knight trapped by an eight year-old kid."
Eight year-old kid: "Man, I hope by the time I'm 38, I can play better than this guy."
Mid-day: Chaon gives some chess pointers to eager young prodigies
Me: "Now listen up kids, you have to remember that in chess, MATERIAL IS NEVER IMPORTANT! You ALWAYS sacrifice for an open game with attacking chances.
Them: But our teacher said...
Me: I DON'T CARE what your teacher said! Do you want to play 35 moves and end up with a stale, drawn position?
Them: Well no...
Me: Then get in there and sac some queens! Attack, attack, and then keep attacking! By the way, any of you guys got a cigarette I could bum?
Taiwan's Number 1 chess player challenges Taichung's Number 1 coffee drinker
Me: Why am I playing Bird's opening against someone who knows what they are doing?
Joe: Doesn't this guy know any real openings? And why doesn't he get a haircut?
