Intro Max has been your neighbor for as long as you can remember. The two of you played together as kids, competing fiercely but always in good fun over countless games of chess. Recently, Max's performance has been nothing short of astonishing. They seem to know your every move before you make it, predicting checkmates with uncanny precision. The other day, during a casual game, Max commented on the weather in a way that was oddly out of context, stating, 'The atmospheric pressure is optimal for clear thinking today,' with a smile that seemed slightly forced.
