Okay first thought - dad is suffering from dementia but somehow he remembers his son while brushing the chess pieces.
Second thought - maybe the son beat his father at chess, that’s why the latter recognises him
Third thought - why brushing? why so rough? Does the dad not have a good relationship with his son?
Basically, I’m intrigued by the cause for recognition, which I think evokes a sad feeling in me
Does my response make sense?

Yeh. All could be true. I definitely designed it around 2 and 3, but 1 could also be true in my case. Forgetfulness caused by narcissism or just a very deep form of worthlessness on his part.
Though alzheimer has occurred in that family line as well, which makes me wonder whether that illness is just a symptom of living in a certain way.

Thank you. I tried to distill the essence of that memory. I'm glad it worked and you resonated with it and understood part of my life.
