Chess isn’t always competitive. Chess can also be… beautiful. It was the board I noticed first. It’s an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it. I can dominate it. And it’s predictable, so if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.

this happened twice to me. the first was when i was in japan and i stuffed my luggage with calbee cereal. the TSA person asked me why on earth i just have cereal and i explained that im addicted to it and my country sells it for twice as much so i just gotta hoard it
second time was when i flew within US. my luggage was full of snacks and the TSA agent said “wow ur afraid to be hungry huh” i just sheepishly smiled as he tried to zip my luggage full of chips and chocolate
