00:00She couldn't believe it. This was the very first time her son had ever played chess. Could he be a genius? Eager to find out. She waited for the outcome. But the old man suddenly got stubborn. He refused to admit defeat. Instead, he insisted he had actually won. Yet little Josie didn't argue. He simply said, thank you, and walked away. Back home, she couldn't wait to see more. She asked her husband to play against Josie. At first, dad was full of confidence. He thought there was no way he'd lose to a kid. But an hour later, his face was frozen. Not only did he lose badly, he had only managed to take one piece from Josie.
00:29And the most shocking part? Josie was in the bathtub the entire time, playing blindfolded without ever seeing the board. That was the moment George realized his son's talent was real. The next day, he brought Josie to a chess club to sign him up. But the club was full of top-level players. No coach wanted to waste time on a 7-year-old. So George decided to take him home. As they were leaving, he noticed Josie playing chess in the lobby. The match was intense. Each player was moving at lightning speed, barely a second between turns. And then Josie won. His opponent froze, stunned he'd just lost to a 7-year-old.
00:58From that day on, George took Josie to the park to play every afternoon. Until one day, a renowned chess master named Bruce came looking for them. That's when George found out. The player Josie had beaten that day wasn't just anyone. He was the national champion. Bruce was so impressed. He offered to coach Josie at half price. But George hesitated.
01:14He had tried so many hobbies with his son before. None of them lasted. Thanks to Josie's lack of focus. But Bruce refused to give up. He followed them home and gave Josie a few simple tests. Then he told George with certainty. Your son doesn't have ADHD. He just thinks faster than other kids. That's why he seems impatient.
01:30One month later, he brought Josie to his first official tournament. George was confused until the game started. While Josie was quietly focused, his opponent's parents were openly glaring at George. And then chaos broke out.
01:40Two parents started arguing. As a result, all the parents were kicked out of the hall. The kids loved it. They clapped and laughed. But the parents? They were locked in a side room pacing. Praying. Panicking.
01:49George stared at the rankings on the wall. Josie was winning every round. Soon, other parents started coming over. Pretending to make small talk. But clearly fishing for information.
01:58But minutes later, Josie won. George held back a smile. Walked over. And gently patted the other dad on the shoulder.
02:03You did great, he said. Then turned around. Grinning from ear to ear. He couldn't hide it anymore.
