    I do not want to spoil it for you, you will have to see the whole show.

    I caught a glimpse of demo board set up in Mo's I am going to see
    if they used a real game.

    Part of the board is obscured by spectators. This is what I could make out:

    MC says 'take the knight' in the position below

    Mr. Carlsen is a fantastic player. He deserves better in America than The Simpsons, sadly America thinks one need not be smart if one can blow up the world. America needs more chess players and fewer "patriots" 😞

    Such sweeping generalizations belong in the appropriately-named general forum, not here.

    You shouldn't bag on the Simpsons -- they are modern day prophets. They predicted Donald Trump becoming prez.

    Hi GP,
    Seems to be Botvinnik-Tartakover, Nottingham 1936.

    Thanks Tommovich I had forgotten all about that.

    This link from the Australian Chess Newsletter confirms the game.

    I keep forgetting I can make it a workable link.

    this is a better and longer clip of the chess sequence.
    but I cannot get the link to work. It's a facebook thing.
