    Darryl Magnuson Morey! I challenge you to a live game of chess! Anytime, any place.

    Preferably in home box seats at halftime of game 1 of the 2019 WCF. I'll even let you play white.

    I honestly hope we win a ring with Harden and CP3 in Houston, but also have to expect the unexpected.

    As the saying goes: Morey is playing chess while everybody else plays checker.

    But seriously, $250? How much does the dude make? C'mon, Darrell. Don't be so cheap!

    Hey Daryl. Thanks for doing this. I have a couple questions.

    1. I follow agadmator's chess channel and I noticed that for a time you were one of his top donators. How did you get into chess, and how has it helped you in your career/life (if applicable)? Do you still play (and if so, what is your rating, lol)?

    2. [optional] Thoughts on Sam Hinkie?

    I still play chess on chess.com – I love that app. When I was 14 I was 5th in the state of Ohio tournament in my age group which was a total fluke – I was not that good – but it got me super jazzed about chess for a bit. I was lucky enough to catch the candidates tournament on an off day on my trip through Europe recently – I was very excited Caruana won – it is amazing to have the 1st American since Bobby Fischer to compete for the world title. I don’t really know if chess has helped me later – most studies about similar aptitudes have found no crossover – e.g. that being good at chess shows that in the future you will be good at…chess.
