Overheard yesterday on the airplane from Italy to Berlin, said emphatically by a tween boy with a thick Eastern European accent to his elderly female British seat mate: “the purpose of roblox is mostly to play chess. Before this, one could not play chess on the internet.” He then spent several minutes in discussion of his least favourite #chess opening. The Sicilian defence, if you were wondering, because it’s annoying and overplayed apparently. Then he spent a few minutes complaining that too many people online are only rated around 950. All while his British granny sounding seat mate went “mmm” every once in a while. I have no idea if they even knew each other! I was deeply amused.
