0 was X, you didn't have to be a genius to figure that out, 1 was 1, and 2, which hardly appeared anyway or flickered in my head, was 2.

El 0 era la X, para deducirlo no era necesario ser un genio, el 1 era el 1 y el 2, que por lo demás apenas aparecía o titilaba dentro de mi cabeza, era el 2.

"But what I don't understand is why, when he was so roundly considered such a man of genius, does everyone only remembers his defeats?"

– Pero lo que no entiendo es por qué, si se le considera de modo tan rotundo un hombre genial, sólo es recordado por sus derrotas.
