I’m impressed though, but for the corkiness

Yeah a bit too cocky, but that's what the American system encourages. That's why over there you have a lot of kids that talk to adults like their mates.

Some respect is good, but too much like we have in Africa holds kids back.

Chess is a game meant for people who want to be smart
A mind reader,

I play both chess and scrabble. One makes you a mind reader/calculative, while the other helps ur vocabulary

I dont joke with my knight ♘ and ♖ rook

We have them all over the country.Lagos seems to have more because it has the largest population in Nigeria.
Some of those people are assasins and armed robbers if not for the easy money they see would have been visiting us in our abodes to collect our properties.Nigeria has gone bad.No work.It is better than been armed robbers sha.

He should have lost both games if he was up against a more calculative player. Especially the first game, the lady just got too excited and let her guards down.

For those saying he talks too much, it's obvious y'all don't know that it's common to find players engage in such banters...

It's called blitz banter. If you're a chess player you would understand. Trash talking is part of blitz chess. It's a way of destabilising your opponent and making the game fun. It's allowed only in none tournament blitz games....again only a chess player would understand.

You are very correct. Blitz banter is one of the elements of psychological warfare that players use to disarm their opponents in non-tournament blitz games.

Sharp boy, I actually used to know his elder brother, his aunt was a family friend. First time I heard about him being a chess prodigy, I was genuinely shocked and happy for the family at the same time cos they went over there to seek better pastures
