EDIT I'm leaving the link for any posthumous curiosity, but I'll be removing the quote since fellow commenters here have made me realize they might not be entirely truthful in their assertion.

- Zetice 4y agoAnonymous commenters on the internet aren’t the trove of honest reporting you seem to think…
- ryzvonusef 4y agoYour comment piqued my curiosity, so I decided to see if their comment history supported their claim...yeah, a two year old account with a high karma count but no comments older than 12 days ago....i think I'll edit my comment, they might not be honest

- renewiltord 4y agoAs a high school teacher with years of experience, the other thing I've heard a lot is that they picked up chess because of 4chan posts that Trump was playing chess while Hillary was playing checkers. That's bullshit but if I'd posted it on Reddit, someone on HN could've quoted it.
- ryzvonusef 4y agoAnother commenter raised a similar red flag, so i have removed the quote. I am not an American so I am not as up to date with American high school culture, apologies for any misinformation.
