It’s just him being silly. In an episode of the British sci-fi comedy “Red Dwarf,” two computers are locked in a chess match, and the “dumb” computer calls a pawn a “prawn” and a knight a “horsey.”

I'm going to need to venture into KZbin-unfriendly territory soon so I just rejoined you channel because I'm not sure what the best way to support it is anymore. I tried getting you an expensive chessboard twice (I forget the brand but the one that tracked moves with the magnet sensors), but both transactions got snagged by my credit card's fraud department. It's clear that you were trying to get me mixed up in something but I forgive you.
