Wow, 5 views on YouTube, but you managed to find it. I commend you for your research.

I just love it! He seems so sincere and nice. But he has stones in place of some pieces, and he has set up the board all wrong.

I wanted something special for April 1st and this clip was too charming to ignore. It also had 5 views when I watched it -- how is that possible?! - Mark

It's simply wonderful, this is how chess is supposed to be enjoyed - figure out a few things yourself and then share that information with others, so they can further expand on your wisdom. And then they can share their experiences with you. And it must be said he was quite good too, pointing out some tricks and possibilities. And that plant was quite awesome indeed. :) (honest!)

My favourite is the "well loved" pieces, the bishop and pawns that have seen better days.

Brilliant video, you can see the love of the game.
