"The little one wants to challenge me?" asked the Grand Master astonishingly.
The boy nodded his head.
"Ok. I will have lunch in 2 min before carrying on with rest of the schedule," Grand Master told the Chess tournament manager looking at the little boy whose height was smaller than the height of the chess pieces on the table.
The sharp eyes of the boy could see what the overconfident eyes of the Grand Master missed. At his level, he had a leverage which many did not realize.
"King Check," said the boy after 2 moves. "You may go for your lunch."

I think the lesson was long overdue.
Never underestimate your opponent. Even if you are a grand master.
Dear Jaya,
The Grand Master learned a lesson. Nicely done.
Shalom,
