Stockfish? Maybe we would win with a Penn and Teller twist? They give us a pass because of all the species they ever encountered, ours was the only one who would cheat at chess?

GM_chess_player

Reminder: Dead men don't play chess. It could be said that old chess players don't die, they just time out.
