The trip to Düsseldorf, when Shay led even outside the table
The arena, the crowd, the high level of play, the closeness to the great players, the professional atmosphere - everything was exciting. You could see it on him. The spark in his eyes. The excitement of a boy who suddenly found himself close to a world he admired.
I remember that feeling. There was no need to explain to him why it was special. He understood it by himself.
Maybe he said something like:
“Dad, this is insane.”
