Ah, but if you were a movie-level genius you'd be brilliant at chess because all movie-level geniuses are brilliant at chess. Up until they fail to notice a Queen sacrifice play.
I don't mind the use of chess as a shorthand for 'battle of wits' but I object to how badly written they usually are. Bad Genius hasn't noticed, and isn't expecting, a Queen sacrifice move by Good Genius? Please.
As bad as poker. Every round of poker in movies is a smorgasbord of high value hands:
"But can you beat a full house, Queens over nines?""I also have a full house, Kings over Jacks.""I have four 10s.""I have a Royal Flush.""I have six Aces."
I have a spreadsheet of every meal I've cooked for the last three years, with a meals look-up tab that allows me to filter by cuisine, protein, carb, and then also pulls in the date from the planning sheet so I can see how long it is since I last cooked that meal. Makes weekly meal planning a lot easier, eg: I want a chicken and rice dish that I haven't cooked for at least two months, then a vegetarian pasta dish for next day. No problem!
Pffft. Ketchup is for children. Brown sauce is better on a breakfast.
