What kinds of things do you think he was taught/experienced once taken by the demon (whatever the hell he was)?

I would assume that there were a lot of chess games played … =) Totally serious on that, Linoge just seems like a … thing … that would prize intelligence over anything, so other than teaching his little Mini Me to despise humans (I would also presume that when I say “despise humans” I mean their motives and lying characteristics) he would also teach him intelligence, and to me it just seems that Linoge is the chess playing type … what do you think?

Who is the spy? Is it me? Is it you? Here, drink this wine...

I like the idea of LiNoge playing many games of chess with Ralphie.

No offense, but, while he may have taught him the game, I cannot see them spending too much time playing chess with little pieces of plastic (or wood or or stone or whatever you want) on a board.

While chess is a game of strategy that puts emphasis on planning and thinking several steps beyond your current choices and actions, as well as attempting to estimate how your opponent most likely will react, I am sure Linoge would teach him these things using real people as pawns in real life situations.
