Your 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
As 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.
Another 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.
