My sister taught our dad how to play Bejeweled yesterday.

He’s already beaten both of our highest scores as well as her boyfriend’s highest score.

That's awesome! (or not, if you're super competitive, in which case I'm sorry!)

Is he one of those magical people that just "gets" Bejeweled? I have friends like that, whose high scores were always like ten times higher than mine because they saw the board or recognized patterns in some fundamentally different way.

Yes, he's one of those magical bejeweled savant people. He's a mechanical engineer, and his spatial perception skills are just better than my sister's and mine (he can back a vehicle into a parking space perfectly even when it has a trailer attached to it, for example).
