It's an oldie from 2015, but I still think about it whenever people talk about being talented at something.

Im a low low ELO player but enjoy chess. I teached a kid how to play on a summer event, and the kid, probably around 10 years old, never did the same error twice and easily beat me on the third day (around 5 games a day vs me and who knows how many against the other event leaders)

Really humbling, but I think I helped kindle a new hobby for the kid

Nothing wrong with playing Electric Light Orchestra.

What’s your favorite song to play?

You did good. Fostering and developing the younger generation.

I compete in video games (smash bros ult) and there is a lot of humbling experiences when you are unable to beat a child that is 10 years younger than you every week for 2 straight years.
