** The film's climax game ends with Dave winning the game, but after the TimeSkip he is even more down in the dumps and depressed than Jason. Sure enough, two scenes later we get the explanation that Dave turned his victory pyrrhic by overkilling it with the gloating and he got blacklisted from playing for life.

** Dave beat Jason at chess fifteen years ago. Every year, on that same day, Dave barges in Jason's life in the most destructive and loud way possible to remind Jason he will always be a loser. For extra irony points Jason may have built an extremely better life for himself than Dave's during this time, but Dave [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten absolutely refuses to let Jason live down this one, otherwise inconsequential, defeat]].
