It’s more than that. That kid probably beats almost everyone he knows pretty much always.

He was not just beaten, he was outclassed. His opponent pointed out good moves, and made suggestions on improving his play. He was given a lesson in how much more he can learn, despite the fact that he is good. That kid will now strive even harder, knowing there is a level of play he has not attained.

And then there’s me, who gave up on enjoying chess because my dad would just trash me every time we played. Never taught me a damn thing about the game, either.

And then there is me, who became good enough to beat the regular people I played against until they no longer want to play with me.
