[@Anthoman001]

So... Did the opponent fall for it, or not? [lol]

[@EZmode420]

their opponent was a 2100 with 2 minutes on clock. I'd assume the 2100 didn't fall for it. never know tho

[@stevethach3340]

Ben didn't even react lmao

[@JimmyLundberg]

I thought Rhe8 was a pretty neat move (if dxc5, then Rd1#), so I checked the engine so y'all don't have to.
with Stockfish 14+ NNUE at 30 depth, here are the top 5 moves:
[+0.5] 1...Be7 2.O-O c5 3.Be3 cxd4 4.cxd4 f5 5.f3 Bh3 6.Re1 fxe4 7.fxe4 Bb4 8.Nc3 Rhe8 9.Bf2
[+0.7] 1...Bb6 2.Nd2 c5 3.d5 Bh3 4.a4 c4 5.Nxc4 Rhe8 6.f3 Bg2 7.Rf1 Bxf1 8.Kxf1 f5 9.a5
[+1.2] 1...Rhe8 2.Nd2 Be7 3.f3 Be6 4.Kf2 c5 5.Nb3 cxd4 6.Nxd4 Bc5 7.Be3 f5 8.exf5 Bxf5 9.b4
[+1.2] 1...Bd6 2.Nd2 c5 3.f3 Bd7 4.Nc4 Be7 5.Ne5 Be8 6.Be3 cxd4 7.cxd4 Rf8 8.g4 Bb5 9.a4
[+1.3] 1...Bf8 2.O-O c5 3.f3 Bh3 4.Rd1 Be7 5.Kf2 f5 6.e5 c6 7.Na3 cxd4 8.cxd4 g5 9.Nc2
"Bishop" wasn't so bad, and don't forget tricks are for kids.

[@runaperugaming7938]

wtf

[@yunsha9986]

@BlueScreen Exactly this. Stockfish won't find it cause it's definitely an inaccurate move which only works if opponent doesn't see it.

[@santaslayer1013]

@BlueScreen ...

[@jandime9540]

@BlueScreen he was just quoting ben finegold lol

[@jandime9540]

@BlueScreen understandable, have a nice day

[@Bradley_UA]

Eric expected Ben to play "oh no my bishop" since Ben originally made that joke, can blame him.

[@burt591]

Ben didn't make that joke what are you talking about?

[@Grasuggan22]

But Ben Said Bishop and Eric moved the rook, so he cheated? The hand - brain play style.

[@TW-sh2un]

Yea but people always mess up when playing hand brain. It’s not a serious official thing anyway

[@非代替トークン]

Wtf, it's like a Joke without the PunchLine

[@dimmamon]

oh no :

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

this has to be the worst played hand and brain I've ever seen. Eric was literally hovering each move

[@trevorweinbrecht7142]

It's not like Ben could see what move Eric was hovering though... Eric was just trying to save time

[@jacks3536]

@@trevorweinbrecht7142 of the 4 moves we see Eric literally ignored Ben for half of them. That's pretty bad tbf.

[@Bradley_UA]

Yeah, especially that Bxg4 is so terrible
