I just found out that not hardly and people on chess.com have never in their life heard of AC/DC.  What is with that?  What else are chess players ignorant to?

Kinda like Magnus, the only thing he knows how to do is move some pieces of wood around.

Avatar of GuardianOfTheKing

Does that make him stupid?

Avatar of SonOfThunder2

He is the best at what he does.  NO HE IS NOT STUPID!

Moving wood around can involve a surprising number of skills.

Avatar of SonOfThunder2

And if you could beat him at "moving wood around" that would make you smart and him stupid but untill then...stop calling Magnus stupid!

Avatar of BlargDragon

Does it count if I beat Magnus with a large wooden dowel rod? I will be moving wood in the process.

I know about them too.  I know what he is talking about as in the group "Mozart and Music" we were talking about AC/DC and nobody had heard of it.

I am with Basher and Big Ears on this one, whatever they say.

Where did you learn to structure your English sentences? Have you just moved to the USA via some foreign country? 

You don't specify if it is an electrical ref or a band.

Wow - we all wish we were as smart as you Master. 

Your rating is so high, I wish I was you.
