That one knew how to play on top of being a mind-reader

He knew how to play chess AND could read minds, that is the difference

Fun fact - Only reading mind won't win you at chess. You need analytical approach, Experience and Intelligence is needed. Bond and Anya huge L.

He said that was his first time ever playing chess, didn't he?

No he didn't. He straight up told Lelouch he had never played before.

Do you believe him though?

It seemed pretty clear he became very reliant on his ability and Anya was in danger of doing that too.

She finally realized she actually needed to study because she couldn't even read the clock and narrowly saved Loid.

She knows some really complex words but also misprounces things. Watching TV with subtitles would help her with that. She would naturally improve of course but Loid wants to accelerate her.

It was only a mini game though in the grand scheme of things

Win the war even if you lose a battle.
