Phil created a chat.

Thomas: Why did you make a chat with just the two of us?

Phil: I have an idea. You know how my parents help set up chess tournaments?

Thomas: I am aware of that.

Phil: Because they were helping, they got a free place at the tournament. The grand prize is one-hundred dollars!

Thomas: Great! Why am I here?

Phil: Because I don't play chess.

Thomas: And you just assumed I play chess?

Phil: Well, yeah. You seem kind of like someone who would be good at chess?

Thomas: I never even told you if I played chess!

Phil: But you seem like the kind of person who would be a pro chess player!

Thomas: What is that supposed to mean? You think just because I like computers I am good at math that I am a pro chess player?!?

Phil: No... I mean...

Thomas: What if I don't play chess? Then I could get offended by people just assuming I do!

Phil: But do you play chess?

Thomas: That is not the point! The point is that you can't just assume I do play chess!

Phil: Thomas, just tell me! Do you play chess?

Thomas: That is not the point!

Phil: THOMAS THIS IS A YES OR NO QUESTION! DO YOU PLAY CHESS?!?

Thomas: Yes.

Phil: And are you good?

Thomas: I have won every game I have played for the past two years.

Phil: And do you want to win one-hundred dollars?

Thomas: Yes...

Phil: SO WHY ARE YOU ARGUING WITH ME?!?

Thomas: BECAUSE I DISLIKE YOUR STERIOTYPE!!!

Phil: WOULD YOU STILL DISLIKE THE STERIOTYPE IF IT WINS YOU ONE-HUNDERED BUCKS?

Thomas: ...

Thomas: What time is the tournament?
