A game of chess

I beat a deaf guy at Chess yesterday. I'm so proud of meself. Here's the reason why I think it is a thing to be proud of. Chess is a game about concentration ain'it? Chess is one game where normal guys like me play with a handicap when matched up against a deaf opponent.

When you are deaf, you won't have stupid distractions like

• The TV.
• Stupid dogs tearing up your flip-flops because you left them out?
• Cars on the road
• Birds outside.
• The wind.
• The rain.
• Sounds of people in the kitchen.
• Sounds of people in the shower.
• Sounds of people in the loo.
• Mobile Phones.
• People talking to you.
• People wanting to talk to you on the phone.
• The sound of your opponent breathing.

See? I had to cope with all that in one game while the deaf guy gets perfect silence. How fair is that?? But its ok I only dropped one game out of 5 and that was because I was distracted with lunch. I'm the greatest! Go Me!
