Two decades ago, you could find young Chen in the night market in Shuili Rural Township in Nantou County. There he would set up endgames on a portable chessboard he made himself, and show others how to play. Chen would wager cigarettes, and if he won his opponent would pay him five or ten NT dollars. In this way he made a little pocket money.
