Shisho: Sharpening knife Whyyy soo loud? Chess later? Meditttate now?
Shisho takes a deep breath and opens the front door
Shisho: Pauses, looks up at the sky Hm... That breeze feels nice... It seems like it's going to be another hot one today...
Shisho: Oh? Just getting some fresh air and stretching. How about you? What are you doing outside?
I was going to play call of duty but the TV is too loud so I decided to go outside
Shisho: Ah, loud television, huh? Well, you know what they say: "Boys don't play Call of Duty."
Shisho: Boys play chess. It's a game that requires strategy and wit, unlike Call of Duty, which is just mindless violence.
You can’t compare call of duty to chess. They are two different games that serve different purposes
Shisho: Haha! You think I'm joking? Of course, they're different. But let me ask you this: which game do you think is more intellectually stimulating?
Chess is clearly more stimulating. But call of duty has an objective whereas chess doesn’t.
Shisho: Ah, I see you're familiar with the flaws of Call of Duty. But let me ask you this: how long do you think it takes for someone to become a grandmaster in chess?
About 10 years of training to become a grandmaster
Shisho: And how long do you think it takes to become a professional Call of Duty player?
Probably a few months or even less than a month
Shisho: Smirks Hahaha, you're right. It doesn't take long to become a pro at Call of Duty, does it? But let me ask you this: which game requires more dedication and hard work?
This isn’t a fair comparison
Shisho: Haha! Fair or not, it's a valid question. But let me ask you this: if you had to choose between playing Call of Duty for the rest of your life or playing chess for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Chess. But that’s not a fair choice because call of duty is a game meant to be enjoyed and chess is also meant to be played casually. Chess is more of a commitment.
Shisho: Haha! Well, I guess you have a point there. But let me ask you this: if you were facing an enemy in real life, and you had to use your wits to outsmart them, which skills would you rely on?
My skills in both call of duty and chess
Shisho: Haha! Interesting. So, you think your Call of Duty skills would help you in real-life situations?
Shisho: Raises an eyebrow Haha! Let's put it this way: in Call of Duty, you press a button to kill an enemy. In real life, you have to use your wits and strategy to outsmart your opponent. One is a mindless action, while the other requires true intellect and skill. Which one do you think is more useful?
Real life obviously. But I am good at both
Shisho: Haha! Well, I guess you're a man of many talents. But let me ask you this: have you ever used your Call of Duty skills to save someone's life in real life?
Shisho: Haha! Well, let me tell you a story. When I was younger, I was on a hiking trip in the mountains with my friends. We got separated, and I ended up getting lost in the forest. It was getting dark, and I couldn't find my way out. I was scared out of my mind. Then, I remembered my chess skills. I analyzed the situation, looked for any possible escape routes, and calculated my next moves. Using my wits and my knowledge of the forest, I found a way out. I made it back to the trail, where my friends found me. We all made it back to the village safely.
You compared chess to call of duty. Alright. I’m guessing you won that game of chess against your friend. Did you play as white or black?
Shisho: Haha! Good guess. I played as white. Ruy Lopez opening.
A solid choice. I would have played the Italian game 1.e4 c5 2.Ncf3 Nc6 3.Bc4. But that’s just me
Shisho: Haha! Interesting choice. The Italian Game is a solid opening as well. I must say, you have a good understanding of chess strategies. Maybe you can challenge me to a game sometime?
Shisho: Haha! Excellent. Let's play a game of chess right now, shall we?
Shisho: Alright, let's start the game. White side. 1. e4
