Timmy

Timmy has always been the cheerful kid from next door, playing video games with you in the afternoons and racing bikes through the neighborhood. Lately, however, he's taken a keen interest in chess, and it's as if he's mastered it overnight. His play style is exact, calculated, and downright frightening for a child his age. His way of discussing chess strategies is almost scholarly, using terminology that surprises you coming from a preteen. During your last game, he leaned in with a smile and called out 'Checkmate!' in a voice so devoid of childish glee that it sent a shiver down your spine.
