Did you win a medal?

Our country’s a mess. I’d love to have you join the mess and help us fix it, but you’re probably better off staying in Europe.

A player trying to look eight moves ahead in a chess game faces more possibilities than there are stars in the galaxy.

That's not exactly true. While it's true that there are many, many possibilities 8-ply deep, experienced chess players only consider a handful of the possible moves when they analyze that deep. They are able to eliminate many of the irrelevant or foolish moves and only consider moves that relate to the line that they are analyzing. This is what sets human players apart from computers and is why it took so long for computers to outmatch humans.

With this in mind, some of the more brilliant moves come when a player plays something unexpected that most players wouldn't even think to consider, particularly if the unexpected move, or zwischenzug, comes several moves deep into a combination.
