not even even chess videos are immune to youtube garbage debates

[fredb1978]

Wow, a check move from the queen and knight and there is no way to block the knight's attack and u can't block the queen's attack because of the knight's attack and the king can't move anywhere because of the queen and knight and both the knight and queen can't be taken because it is a double check move and i should say...a checkmate move. that was awesome!
