Jaime Jaquez, Jr., a chess enthusiast, arranged a meet-up with the thirteen-year-old prodigy Tanitoluwa Adewumi for some tips and a game of H-O-R-S-E, Dan Greene writes.
The setting: the second-floor basketball court at Nike’s headquarters near Madison Square Garden, where some Heat players would be gathering to shoot around. Jaquez came straight from the airport, in off-white sweats and matching sneakers. Adewumi had arrived wearing a black Adidas tracksuit. A Nike rep, noticing the attire, provided a new, appropriately branded one instead. They headed for a chessboard, which was set up at mid-court on a high-top table. Play began quickly.
“Scandinavian,” Adewumi reminded him. He asked Jaquez about the best game of his career. “It’s so hard for me to think and play chess at the same time,” Jaquez said. “When people stream”—broadcast their play live online, while chatting with viewers—“I’m, like, how?” Adewumi said he used to stream, but stopped to focus on tournaments. “I was young,” he said. “Like, twelve.” Adewumi grinned at one of Jaquez’s moves, then allowed him to replay it. Soon he called checkmate anyway.
