Went ahead and bought two, because when I play against the homeless dude at the park, and they get dirty, I can just throw them away afterwards instead of cleaning them. Who has time for all that?

Excellent use of materials. So it sits somewhere and doesn't get used. This is on par with trophies - a mere notation could be made but we end up cluttering space with objects of notoriety.

Bill gates should've done that glasses and microphone trick that Magnus did in NYC with a kid. Magnus fed the kid moves via camera in glasses and microphone.  Gates could've paid Hikaru to feed him the moves. Doesnt guarantee a win but it would guarantee a shocked Magnus.
