Comic Description:

The comic consists of four panels, featuring discussions about chess grandmasters and an unexpected conversation.

Panel 1:

• A close-up of a chess grandmaster, an older man with a pronounced frown and bushy eyebrows. He has his hand on his chin, appearing contemplative.
• Text: "CHESS GRANDMASTERS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE ABLE TO RAPIDLY MEMORIZE ALL THE POSITIONS OF PIECES ON THE BOARD."

Panel 2:

• A conversation with another character, a woman with dark curly hair. The grandmaster looks taken aback.
• Text: "A STRANGE RESULT IS THAT THEY STRUGGLE WHEN PRESENTED WITH SITUATIONS THAT DO NOT ARISE NATURALLY IN ACTUAL GAMES."
• Text: "ALL I REMEMBER IS THREE WHITE BISHOPS ALL ON WHITE SQUARES AND AN OVERWHELMING SENSE OF VERTIGO."

Panel 3:

• A character with a bald head discusses with a serious expression; they are labeled as a "Grandmaster pickup artist."
• Text: "THIS ISN’T JUST A FUN FACT. IT’S A TACTIC THAT CAN BE USED AGAINST ALL FORMS OF EXPERTISE."

Panel 4:

• The conversation shifts to a woman with curly red hair, showing an intriguing expression as she talks to another character, who looks slightly surprised.
• Text: "I LIKE YOUR NOSE. IT’S A LITTLE OFF CENTER. NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT I—"
• The character interjects: "SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL! MOLYBDENUM! SQUIRREL!"
