Looking for chess parable

Does anybody know the story of the wise man on the road who meets a man who's sitting by the road side and crying because his wife has died, and he gives some good and uplifting advise, and the man thanks him and feels better. And then he meets somebody else in dire straits, and gives him some sage advice, and the man feels better.

Then he meets a man by the road side, sitting there and weeping, and he asks him: What is the matter with you? The man answers him: I'm a chess master, and I lost my game. Then the wise man sat next to him and wept with him.
Teach a man to fish and he will never go hungry.

Teach a child chess and he will never be mentally stable.

- Fischer of men
