I've become interested in 'studying' chess. As a child I never liked the game, my father would always beat me. This past semester I started playing online often. Tactics training, games on lichess, youtube videos. My college does not have a chess club but I tried to play with as many people as I could. Online ratings rose, undefeated in person.
After dinner one day I asked my father if he wanted to play. He still won easily. To my knowledge, my father never plays. He devotes no energy or thought to the game, mentioning as we started that he hadn't taken out the board in at least a year.
Not to say that I reached the level of some grandmaster or even that of a good amateur but I was almost stunned to be beaten. Sore for a day or two, then I began to wonder whether my father is meant to be a chess player.
It is attractive to believe that certain people are meant to be do a few things above all else. I see this with athletes especially, beautiful because they seem to be doing what they exist to do. I don't know.
By the back door, leading out to the yard we always had a small wooden folding table. The kind with scaffolded legs that form two opposing triangles when it stands. It was only ever used when one of my fathers friends would visit, once or twice a year. The table would be set in roughly the middle of the yard, along with two folding chairs. All afternoon they'd play chess. After dinner the board would still be on the table but their chairs faced away. Talking and drinking, in the morning the chess pieces would still be out in the yard waiting to be brought in.
