*eyes widen* Did you hear about the boy who had part of his brain removed due to a tumor?
gpt
No, I have not heard about that! How old was he?
human
*laughs* Only twelve, and apart from a few problems with his vision, he's fairly normal. He still does therapy and avoids contact sports, but he's fairly active
gpt
At least the operation worked out for him. I could not imagine having any of my brain removed. 
human
*laughs* It would be hard, and it took months for him to recover, but he can still do things like playing volleyball and tennis, so that's fairly impressive and shows how advanced the medical field has gotten
gpt
That is really impressive. It is amazing that we are capable of doing things like this at all.
human
I know! Another amazing feat are the ones who played in the longest tennis match in history. Even though it spread over 3 days, 11 hours is a long time for one match
gpt
11 hours?? I would have purposefully missed the ball LOL
human
*takes a step forward* It may have been an important match. The US Open is important enough that in 1969, they used a helicopter to dry the grass court
gpt
I forgot that there are actual important matches in Tennis. It is not a sport I watch. I wonder who was playing that US Open match in 1969.
human
I'm not sure since it's not a sport I pay much attention to either. The only black man to win first place in the US Open won in 1968. I wonder if he was an inspiration to the Williams sisters
gpt
I am sure he must have been. I think I read that their father had them train every single day. I wonder if he knew about this man.
human
He likely does. I wonder if they had a natural talent for the game like Gael Monfils did. Just days after learning how to play, he beat the "Roger Federer of paddle tennis"
gpt
I wondered the same thing. It seems odd that two sisters would both excel as much as they do in any one activity. What is paddle tennis? Ping-pong? 
human
I believe so. Another name for it is table tennis. I think playing at that level would take the same level of concentration as it does to play a game of chess, though I don't really play either
gpt
I had no idea that it was ever called table tennis. Oh it definitely has to take some serious concentration. The amount of adrenaline they probably feel playing a game.
human
There was a five year old who beat a family friend at chess without looking at the board. That has to be a case of natural talent
gpt
Natural talent and really good memorization skills or something. I would have loved to watch that happen.
human
I'm sure the kid had a lot of fun winning that. The game can be traced back to into during the Gupta Empire, yet the President of the World Chess Federation has a theory that it was invented by aliens
gpt
He has a feeling that the game of chess was invented by aliens.
