Andy Murray offered an interesting chat with the BBC, and one of the funniest and most anecdotal moments was when he talked about one of his children, who is now 5 years old. The Dunblane native explained that his son is fully immersed in chess, and although he is not particularly a great player, he used to play for a long time due to his analytical capacity. Well, Murray admits that his son beats him, even capable of going to the bathroom in the middle of the game and coming back. It's not something common. "It's a humbling experience for my intelligence," he says amidst laughter.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Murray tiene un genio en casa: "Mi hijo de 5 años me gana al ajedrez"
