.rachsyme’s great-grandfather was one of the most eminent figures in American chess. But his passion didn’t quite run in the family.
,” when I couldn’t sleep. I take great comfort in listening to other people talk about chess, because it makes me feel close to the game without having to play it. On the show, Phil and his co-hosts gab in crisp accents about pawn sacrifices and variations on the Sicilian Defense with the rowdy bonhomie of lads closing down a pub. Eventually, I realized that I should learn, once and for all, how to play well.
My grandfather revered his father, though they had a contentious relationship. They were both lawyers, which led to competition and impossible expectations. Still, my grandfather talked about his father as a giant, a looming, stentorian intellect. I think a lot of this reverence had to do with the fact that Paul never really had a passion for chess. His father’s obsession was inscrutable to him.
