Peter Attia

God, I don't remember who actually said that quote, but it's a sort of famous quote in science.

Listen, I believe I have the potential to beat my young boys in chess, provided I don't get distracted by the smack talk.

In my defense today, by the way, I know you don't play chess, but just so you understand,

I promoted a pawn to a second queen on the 25th move.

Do you understand what an advantage I had in this game today?

I've got two queens on the board and I was ahead on material before that promotion.

This was a bloodbath.

And then he starts yapping so much and makes what looks like an idiotic blunder, exposing his rook to my newest queen.

So of course, I take the free rook.

But I was so dumb when I did it that I didn't notice that he moved his bishop out of the way, what looked like a blunder, so he sacrificed his rook, to put his bishop in a way...

to basically create what's called a battery against my king.

And the next move, he checkmated me.

So you could say, okay, I got beat.

Yes, I did.

But part of it is I was distracted by how much he was yapping.

So all I really need to do to up my game is just not get distracted.

I think I have a good chance to win the next in-house tournament.

There could literally be a sitcom of me going through my life just getting broken down by eight-year-olds.

Just getting put in my place.
