  I actually like this one because it's based on actual games that has been played with only few animation errors

  Idk where you were taught chess, but I've always been taught those pieces are Misses King and Dr. Horse.

  I thought this was going to be the early game where Bart was playing three people in the park at once - only for them all, in rapid succession, checkmate him. Echoes of the simul you mentioned in your last video, and given the strength of the Simpsons&apos; early writing, I think it was absolutely intentional on that level as well as true to the plot/character. Luckily, even Zombie Simpsons gets stuff like this right.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4jEBddxsAE&amp;t=430">7:10</a> I feel like that&apos;s the standard for Simpsons cameos honestly, might be a stylistic condition/choice. But all cameos in Simpsons seem to be instantly written off, extremely caricatured, or purposefully robotic/bad.

  So aqua regia might actually be the best acid solution for the opening. <br><br>Also on the chess, I like how Homer has his own names for the pieces, but it&apos;s still obvious that he is good in that he immedietly sets up the board quickly and correctly.

  The Simpsons clearly put in a lot of effort to this (or at the very least just asked Magnus), but only a channel dedicated to chess analysis inside media would ever take the time to look at. <br><br>I&apos;m always surprised we don&apos;t more see more media show only the first and last few moves each of a game.

  The Simpsons take their math seriously aswell.<br>Having Magnus is just a cherry on top of a really well researched episode.
