    I really liked the instructional part of the game where Eric teaches that when you have mate in 1, you should look for better.

      Eric also has a hippo costume and a secret instagram account where he just reposts photos he’s taken with hippos from when he went to the zoo. Don’t support these guys.

      ​@@RG001100I've heard that Eric once teased a hippo with an oversized watermelon that he was motioning to throw into the hippo enclosure but, just as the hippos mouth opened to receive the juicy snack, Eric revealed it was in fact the outer shell of Aman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Halloween costume to which Aman popped out like a transformer spewing bullying remarks like "unlucky" and "get em outta here!" whilst faint techno music seemed to be heard emanating from some mysterious undisclosed location... I don't know what's going on but I agree with you... don't support these guys 👎🏼

    another funny thing about Rb1,aside from adding another defender, is that the pawn on b4 isn't attacked or even threatened in any way. black actually can't position a single one of his pieces to attack it even if he wanted to.
