Who was Sam’s chess opponent
Sam has been taking part in a child’s chess tournament after Nick agreed he could continue playing.
Nick had tried to get Sam to stop his lessons with Roy, believing Sam needed to engage with children his own age.
However, it seems the competition was the perfect way to combine both.
As Sam eyed up his opponent, he was met with the silent Oscar.
Oscar didn’t say much, or anything at all, in fact!
Nick commented that Oscar was “intense” and Sam revealed he was listening to a mindfulness app ahead of their game. Oscar soon took off his headphones and sat down, ready to begin.
Sam managed to beat him.
Oscar was not happy at the loss and stomped off.
But for Sam, it means reaching the final and he has to face Jalena, who the other parents call the silent assassin!
Can he win?
