My cell phone, a device built to allow communication between myself and others, is much better at chess than I am.

I may have to drop it from a high place, and buy a new, non-chess playing communication device.

But you're playing on his turf. Try setting the phone across from you on a real chess board. The SOB will never move a piece.
