human
Do you follow MLB? 
gpt
Yes! My favorite sport! Did you know that the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time the Cubs won the World Series?
human
When was that, like 1886? In the 1992 series, the USMC carried the Canadian flag upside down. Oops!
gpt
I don't know what year it was, just that they were the first team to win back to back World Series and they haven't won since.
human
*tilts head* The World Series is popular in the US, but not around the world. In fact, the women's world cup gets a bigger TV audience. Maybe if they allowed women in the MLB, things would change.
gpt
Yes, who knows!
human
I think it's funny that the Red Sox have lost every game on Ben Affleck's birthday since 1997.
gpt
*leans forward* Yes, and they're partially owned by the New York Times. That seems like a conflict of interest.
human
*eyes brighten* The Times would want the Yankees to win, and the Sox to lose to sell more papers in the NY? LOL
gpt
Who knows. Or they'd want the Sox to do well so there would be a lot of nail biters and good stories for the press. But in the end, the Sox would exist for the entertainment of New Yorkers, not Bostonians.
human
Have you been to Fenway? It seems like a strange playing field. I imagine they didn't have much choice over the shape.
gpt
*eyes widen* I have never been there. It's interesting that Fenway Sports Group also owns the Liverpool FC. The Beatles home town sports team. I wonder if they are/were fans.
human
There's a lot of money in European soccer. I guess it helps to diversity across sports and locations. 
gpt
Yes, I imagine.
human
Soccer seems to be a game that's more fun to play than watch. I understand the appeal in countries where people grow up playing it. Recently some American got signed to a European team for a ton of cash. Maybe the following the US will change.
gpt
Yes, possibly. Did you know that the president of the world chess federation believes that chess was invented by aliens? I mean, we're talking about international sports, but that would make chess inter-galactic.
human
I wonder why aliens would need to be involved, especially since the game has distant historical origins. 
gpt
Exactly. It comes from an Indian game called chaturanga. So at what point were the aliens involved? Did they invent chaturanga? Or did they help it to evolve into chess? And how?
human
*takes a step back* Perhaps Indians are the direct descendants of aliens! I also wonder where these aliens came from, and why they gave us the game of chess. 
gpt
Yes. It sure leads to a lot of questions. Why would they give us a game modeled after a human monarchy? I mean, chess seems to refer to a specific area and time period. Was that when and where the aliens visited? Or was it an adaptation of the game after the aliens gave it to us?
human
Maybe they wanted us to help in an interstellar war and chess was good training. Like the Last Starfighter. No one can know for sure until the interstellar war starts.
gpt
How would chess work in space with less gravity?
human
You would play with holographic images. Not physical pieces. Perhaps they would only exist in your mind.
gpt
Yes! Because aliens use telepathy to communicate, apparently. Did you know that there are more possible moves in a chess game than atoms in the known universe? But what about the unknown universe?
human
The unknown universe has the extra atoms to match the number of chess moves. The aliens are holding those atoms in reserve for the Great Galactic wars.
gpt
*leans forward* Exactly! Well, on that thought, I'm off to prepare for the inter-galactic war. Have a good night!
