[@manofmartin]

I love the whole "I played the French as a teen"
The same way I hear my dad say, "I was a libertarian when I was a teen."
😂😂😂

[@mmeditatio]

Yeah I don’t think he meant it like that

[@HughMorristheJoker]

I played the French horn as a teen.

I am a MacCutcheon Player. What do you have for me???

[@kiroshakir7935]

2:44 actually the idea is to allow queen takes g7
Black ignores and plays c5 queen takes g7 rook g8
Queen does whatever pawn takes d5
A3 queen a5
And white is busted

35 years ago Ben was black. Now he's atheist & vegan. Hopefully soon he can be all three.
