I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

I spent an unhealthy amount of time on reddit over nearly the last decade, and somehow this is the first time seeing that phrase. I actually had to just google “google en passant” to figure out what you’re talking about. I’m still not sure I understand the meme, and I’m certain Ive never seen it, or at least never paid attention to it if I did. Yet it must be common because at least two people bring it up in this thread. Crazy how that works.

Just a simple call-reaponse meme. AnarchyChess ended spreading everywhere. Probably because chess took off with middle and high schoolers during 2020 lockdown.
I mean, adults, too. I’m 28 and I picked up chess again when Queen’s Gambit came out. I had always known how to play but I never knew how to play.
I still don’t. But that’s besides the point.
Me too, kind of. I’d always played chess on and off my whole life, but after watching queen’s gambit with my bff I found out she’s actually pretty into chess, which prompted me to get more into it too.
If you haven’t, you should check out Gotham Chess on YouTube. I can’t recommend him enough. He is hilarious and informative, the perfect combo of teacher and entertainer. Not even just if you want to learn chess but he makes watching chess fun, his recaps of tournaments are fantastic for beginner chess players.
Oh of course, Gotham is great!
