How God Plays Chess (2018)
I have trouble believing in God, but when I play chess, I sometimes get the sense that it’s not me and the opponent playing against each other, but God playing against himself. I guess it’s something to do with the mystery of insights.

Dunno if it’s just the timezone difference, but whenever I play, God’s drunk.

Yes, indeed. It’s like you are witnessing the unfolding of the universe with each move.
