      He is the 19th regeneration of The Doctor, just taking a little break in New York City to work on his chess game across a few thousand years. The Tardis is probably just tucked a few blocks away. Obviously the proof is when you look up all the photos of him over the decades playing chess in the park he never changes age...and is almost always wearing the same outfit.

    We were no grandmasters, but I remember a guy I used to play with in college. We weren't friends outside of the game, but we played nearly every day over breakfast before class. He was far better than I was and enjoyed teaching me and watching me learn and grow as a player. I'll never forget the first - and only - time I managed to beat him. He was so pleased. I never saw him again after that semester, but I'll never forget him. Great times.
