    The frenchman’s cumsock is a classic move, or at least it should be. Although I find chess interesting (as a concept) I completely suck at playing it, so much so that I could be the frenchman in question. Growing up, whenever I played my older brother he’d always know how to beat me in 4 or 5 moves. I’m much better at solitaire games, though there’s a version of solitaire chess I’d like to try.

      Yeah I could never understand that gambit. People keep playing this move but I’m just like “How do I be the sock?”

        The classic move involves tipping the chessboard out the nearest window and then leaping into your opponent’s unguarded lap before he realizes what’s going on. Isn’t the object of the game the first to be able to “mate” the other?
