...I was an expert at chess, but people who didn't know anything kept beating me, so I gave it up.

I recall when in high school I played a game of chess versus my brother then a master chess player. I thought I was doing pretty well, down no pieces, when my brother said, "I don't mean to insult you, but you don't know how to play chess. You just don't react to my openings because you don't see them. You're just pushing pieces around as best you can."

Funny, I ended up teaching chess (and bridge) in the Army a few years later.
