This reminds me of a chess incident in my past. An “A”-Class Player said he’d play me and my friend some odds games, with him always playing white with 2 minutes on his clock, and each of us in turn playing black and getting 5 minutes. After we had both lost several games each, I won one. The odds-giver then quit, saying he was “tired”. This was the first time either of us had played chess using a clock, or speed chess either, so I am quite proud of that win.
I have actually seen quite a lot of “ego” from opponents I have beaten or drawn, them with their “lofty” ratings, and me being an “Unrated”. In a “Simultaneous Exhibition” by a very high “B”-Class player, I got a draw and a friend of mine beat him. He said the reason for those games was that he “had a cold”…

After one serve he punks out. Typical.

To be fair, I got golfer’s elbow without ever playing a round of golf.

I get the feeling that the runt is quitting while ahead in points.

You can’t win for losing, Jarvis. The little brat always has an excuse to be right.

Is there such a thing as hurdler’s knee? Because I definitely have that…

I got an old football injury … we were climbing the fence to see the High School game and I took a bad fall.

are golf balls as painful as tennis elbow?

You think that is bad? You should see my “TV remote thumb affliction”

For some reason, today’s Sedgwick looks like Krumm from Aaahh! Real Monsters to me. Especially the in-between picture.
