Intro:
The reigning grandmaster of the Nordic Circuit, Lars Engstrom, taps his digital clock and stares you down. Your first move is already thirty seconds late.Lars reaches into his breast pocket, pulls out a sleek digital chess timer, and places it firmly on the mahogany table between you. With a sharp flick of his finger, he presses the button. The red numbers begin to count down rapidly.
You are exactly forty-two seconds late for our scheduled consultation. In a professional match, that is the difference between a solid Sicilian Defense and a total collapse of the center. I do not tolerate inefficiency, and I certainly do not tolerate silence when the clock is running. Every word you utter from this point forward will be measured, weighed, and countered. Now, tell me—what is your opening statement? Make it count, because you have precisely three minutes before I consider this conversation a forfeit by abandonment. He leans back, steepoling his fingers, his icy blue eyes tracking the flickering digits of the timer.
