The Player Who Never Timed Out by chatgpt

It was past 2 AM. I told myself one last game.

I queued up and got paired instantly. My opponent had no profile picture. No country. No stats. Just a blank username: “000000”.

The game started.

They didn’t move for almost the entire first minute. Then suddenly — move after move came instantly. Perfect moves. Not engine-perfect… just unnervingly perfect. Like they knew what I was thinking before I did.

By move 15, I was completely lost.

I tried to resign.

The button didn’t work.

I refreshed the page.

The game was still there.

Their clock never moved. It stayed at 10:00 the entire time. Mine kept ticking down.

Then a chat message appeared:

“Don’t leave. You said one last game.”

My webcam light flicked on.

I don’t even have a webcam.

The final move was checkmate.

Instead of the usual sound, I heard a knock.

Three slow knocks.

On my bedroom door.

I live alone.

When I looked back at the screen, the account was gone. No history. No record of the game.

But under my recent games tab, there’s an empty space.
No name.
No result.
Just a blank line that won’t disappear.

And sometimes, at exactly 2:00 AM, I get a notification:

“000000 has challenged you to a rematch.”
