1988.
>> YES.
James: 1988 WE MET.
I IMMEDIATELY LOVED YOU.
WE IMMEDIATELY GOT ON, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ABOUT YOU.
YOU HARBORED AN USUAL HABIT THAT YOU WERE INTO AT THAT TIME IN
YOUR LIFE.
>> YES.
James: WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE.
>> I PLAYED A LOT OF ON-LINE CHESS.
>> THAT CAME OUT OF LEFT FIELD.
I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS.
>> James: FROM THE MOMENT I MET YOU, YOU WERE THE COOLEST PERSON
I MET.
I REMEMBER WE GOT A TRAIN FROM SHEFFIELD BOOK TO LONDON.
I WAS WALKING BEHIND YOU ON A TRAIN.
EVERY PERSON THAT CHARLIE WALKED PAST, MAN, WOMEN, STRAIGHT, GAY.
ALL WENT ...

NOT MANY FRIENDS AND YOU WERE AN ON-LINE CHESS CHAMPION.

>> THAT WENT OVER EVERYONE'S HEAD.
I LOVE IT.
DO YOU STILL DO IT NOW?
>> NO, I HAVE TWO FRIENDS NOW.
DO YOU PLAY LIVE OR ON-LINE.
I HAVEN'T PLAYED IN YEARS.
I DID A FILM THAT I'M PROMOTING.
WITH GUY RICHIE HE'S A CHESS PLAYER.
>> James: IS HE GOOD.
PRETTY DAMN GOOD.
DID HE TAKE THE MANTIS DOWN.
>> WHAT HE DOES WHEN YOU CHECK MATE HIM HE WALKS OFF LIKE HE
HAS WON.
>> James: THERE IS NO MOMENT NEVER A MOMENT OF VICTORY.
MY DAD'S MOVE IN KHEGS IS TO KNOCK THE TABLE OVER.
