...I remember being on the chess team briefly, during my first year of secondary school. I excelled at it. At each of our meetings there would be practice tourneys among the members and interested outsiders, and I maintained an unblemished winning streak. I guess it's ironic that I left it because of that. I grew bored. I convinced myself I was too far above the strategic abilities of my classmates to find a challenge, so I abandoned it for my other hobbies. I found a more open atmosphere in the handicrafts club, where beyond speed competitions the focus was on challenging myself.

...I think I regret not staying with the chess team longer. If I'd given it more of a chance I could have participated in inter-school tournaments and higher level competitions. ...Perhaps I would have faced others more skilled than my teammates. I would have been able to better myself by learning from other techniques. Maybe I was arrogant.
But I suppose everyone has regrets.

I apologize for not contacting you sooner. If you're still interested in a friendly match, my schedule has briefly opened up.

If you actually find yourself homeless before you've earned enough for a down payment on your own place, I've... decided I'll allow you to share my apartment temporarily.

How have you been faring on your own? I trust you're aware of the recent arrival.
