Yesterday I saw two boys under the neem tree, glued to a phone—some fast game with flashing lights. They told me it’s "e-sports," like chess but on screen. I only nodded, but inside I thought: a real chessboard doesn’t need a battery, and you can’t share a chai with the opponent through a screen. My own sons in Delhi send me links to "online tournaments," but I still prefer the way Shyam from the paan shop mutters over his rook, calculating three moves ahead in the evening light. Bas, maybe new is not always better—let me see proof that this virtual world gives the same patience as a wooden knight.
