  Now I understand why Magnus pledged that he'd only defend his title against Alireza or Homer.

  Can relate to Homer. First time my dad dusted off his chess board he told me how the pieces move and the objective of the game. I didn&apos;t fall for the Fool&apos;s Mate, but he did the Scholar&apos;s mate which is the second worst thing that can happen. He also laughed, turned me off from learning chess. After playing later years with my friends and coming back for revenge, he didn&apos;t find it so funny to play anymore :) Blobby Fisher was an underrated joke btw haha

  the idea that magnus carlsen recorded a bit encouraging Homer to keep playing chess while contemplating not playing the world championship match makes this even funnier

  For those who were just as frustrated as me for the video not mentioning which episode this is, it&apos;s &quot;The Cad and the Hat&quot;, season 28, episode 15.<br>Bizarrely, the video said it&apos;s the &quot;new Simpsons episode&quot;, when the episode was aired in 2017.
