0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connell show Yeah podcast.

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Last week Jack told us about his new passion, which

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 2>is chess.

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I watched The Queen's Gambit and then downloaded chess

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 3>dot Com app where I can play against people all

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 3>over the world. And I have been playing up to

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 3>seventeen hours a week on the chess app.

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is amazing because chess is a very hard game.

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a game of strategy and skill and subterfuge and

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>co oh, yeah there's subterfuge there as well. Yeah, And

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>so seventeen hours a week, it's something you will enjoy

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I every bit of spare time in the day I

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 3>will get on the chess app. Bank is starting to

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>hate it because I don't do I'm doing way less

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 3>chores around the house.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can imagine you do it seventeen hours a week,

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>seven days a week. We can all do the maths

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>here on the plates and like dust and.

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Everything, every part of up.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 3>And it's one of those things if you're playing somebody

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 3>live in a different country, you can't stop the game

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 3>because then it's unfair to that person.

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>So once I'm interested you played recently, you know it

0:00:58.800 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>might be barrying as well.

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 3>I've played someone in Panama yesterday.

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow, and what do you know? Just their code name?

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Like the Meister General.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>We all got code names.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's yours?

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Mine's Greg Internet. If anyone wants to look me up

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>and play against.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Greg Internet, I don't know what.

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 2>No, there's got to be I know you you cank

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>it all through.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>But it's not Internet.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 3>It's not a clever name.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just well, we know Greg Internet. Right anyway? So

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I asked chat last week, what do you be up

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>for if I was to find someone who's equivalent standard

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>for your first ever live game.

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yep, you get like a handicap almost. You get a rating.

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 3>You start at twelve hundred and then you either go

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 3>up and down whether you're a good or band. And

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I've moved down to about a nine hundred to one

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 3>thousand player.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, I found someone same level as you for your

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>first game in here tomorrow morning. So last week I

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>mentioned this and I got a load of emails from

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>people who were up for doing this, and I've kind

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 2>of sort of forgotten about it, and the next day

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>show came along and I just I just forgot until

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday I got an amazing email that really brought.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>This back into our life.

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I've even set up a secret, covert WhatsApp group with

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the other producers so I could share it with them.

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I created the WhatsApp group to share this email. But you, Siria,

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 2>was the first respond I could see all the others

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>you know this, see the little ghost thing with their writing,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>writing right, but everyone's so excited.

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>He actually said, I can't breathe.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 3>So so exciting. Can chess be something you hate?
