[Good King Win–chechfllllkisss–ess?!?!##\*”:?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/good-king-win-chechfllllkisss-ess/1025917)

I assumed this was a chess thread and went in to report it for a forum change to the Game Room, when I realized it was about a Christmas carol. I mean, “good king” (as in white, right?) “win”, and “chech” looks like “check”–I thought I’d see one of those mindbending chess puzzles, likely with a paradox involved or something, hence **Bec** ’s exasperation trying to figure out how to checkmate the bugger.
