Very sorry to hear this. RIP.

Disappointed to hear this. I thought the trailer looked great.

Only joking .. I wouldn't do that. Well, I might ...

Actually @flashback - are you some sort of expert chess player? Could I send you a screenshot of the game so you can tell me what to do? It's my move next ....
