Chess VS My Ex, Loser Gets a Tattoo

Alexandra's ex-boyfriend, Eric Hansen, who also happens to be a chess grandmaster, stops by her house for a blitz match with some extremely high stakes. Trash talk, slapping each other and different dares are all part of the match, but at the end only one of them will walk away with a tattoo of their ex's name on their body.
