Apart from his meditation and spiritual practices, chess was Sherman’s greatest passion.
In both the real world and the digital realm, he had always been unbeaten until today, when he met someone who bested him not once, but twice.
Sherman was used to being in control, and accustomed to having everything under his command. Losing to a stranger, a worthy opponent, unsettled him.
