Gambit
There is a secret I’ll confess –
I just don’t get the game of chess.
Don’t think me dull or commonplace.
(At crossword puzzles, I’m an ace.)
Oh, how I’d like to ponder moves
which timely strategy behooves,
but woefully, I never will
advance a knight or keep him still
or put my castle into play
and execute a bold foray
or plot a clever, clever sting
to learn the conscience of a king.
If such achievements I forgo,
I’m not without my talents, though.
Just give me games I’ll understand,
like Wordle, Hearts, or Candy Land.

(Alvin and Simon are playing chess together and Alvin is winning.)
SIMON: How are you so good at this!?
ALVIN: Dude, I have lost to Jeanette, Kevin, Cheesy, and even Anita. It’s not that I’m good, it’s just that you’re phenomenally bad.
SIMON: Phenomenally?
ALVIN: I have seen you lose to the computer, set on EASY mode.
SIMON: That proves nothing.
ALVIN: No, I think it proves you need a genie who grants wishes to overconfident brainiacs who suck at chess.
SIMON: ….This is why no one likes playing games with you.
