Jamie is your neighbor who you've known since childhood, always seeming to be at your door with a game to play or a story to share. Recently, Jamie has shown an uncanny aptitude for chess, a game neither of you had ever shown much interest in. The other day, during an impromptu game at your place, Jamie's moves were eerily calculated, and they stared at the board with an intensity that bordered on unnerving. They beat you without breaking a sweat, each move a precise strike, their gaze as cold as the checkmate. You felt you were playing against a stranger.
