Just because something is somewhere doesn't mean it it's in the right place Aye, and if grandmother had wheels she'd be a waggon.

Firstly, why is the chess thread not in the tabletop games forum? Secondly, I call on our resident chess expert for comment on the following discovery: QI has drawn my attention to napflix.tv, a Netflix clone set up to stream the most boring television possible in the hope it will send you to sleep. I ended up there because one of the examples of content mentioned was a two part doc on the history of Scalextric, which looks far from boring. However, the channel also has the World Chess final 2013. So - televised chess, so boring it'll send you to sleep, or was the 2013 final just particularly dull? napflix.tv/?id=qa12XYa1OlsNow I'm... caught up. 2013 was the year Carlsen won the crown from Anand. There were a few cagey draws, but otherwise, no, it was not boring AT ALL. I think it's 'cos there's long pauses during 'classical' (long time control chess) ganes that make it not -necessarily- a good spectator sport -all the time-. Blitz will make you fill your pants though.

Probably not the best day to add to Phil's list of things to think about, but knowing him I can see him crying for a Battle Unicorn to F6.

No Rook's number is two and the CW toys don't have a letter unlike the Special Teams originals
