Chess players get this if they start very young and have
talent. If a sharp 8 year old can spank all the adults he
knows, even when they get serious and really *try* to
beat him, the experience has a profound impact on the
mind of the child, do let me assure you. In my case, at
age 8 the only person I couldn't beat consistently
was my father.
This was all great fun until I was at the club one
evening and was spanked by the local elementary school
whiz.
