I suppose - so long as you don't expect multiple payments or credits.

 Fudge!

Finding an actor for Rael shouldn't be too hard. Just find some random ten year old and hand him a thesaurus.Laughing

And the movie should have some sort of hidden reference to the daily puzzle cycle.

The new character playing Rael (i.e. Rae1) is interesting: his name translates to a chess move in algebraic notation.

A Chess Riddle.

What is it on chess.com: the thing that affects more people than any other thing?

Easy!  Cheating!

That’s wrong.

I know.  And that’s why it’s so upsetting.

No, what I mean is: that’s the wrong answer.

OK. How about ‘vacation abuse’?

What do you mean by that?

People saying they are on vacation when in fact they are not taking a complete break – getting away from it all - at all.

I’ll grant you that could be annoying to the ones who can’t take a vacation, but it is not the number one aggravation.

Missing features:  Chess ladders, bunkhouse chess, live chess tournaments?

No, most members are still optimistic that they’ll get those one day.

People refusing to resign lost games? Slow play?  Fast play?  Using databases?  Chatting?  Saying nothing?

If you added all those together, they would even come close.

I give up.

Quite a few find that disagreeable.

No, I mean: ‘I give up’. I can’t guess the answer.

Alright. I’ll tell you. It’s …

Wait, don’t tell me! Is it whining in the forums? The spelling Gestapo? Overzealous moderators? Lax policy enforcement?

You’re way off the mark.

Give me a clue.

Two words: U… D…

U .. D ... ?

I knew what it meant when I wrote it.
