Just found your channel yesterday….no apology for putting Beth Harmon’s pic in your video. Queens Gambit sparked my interest in playing chess after not playing for years. Great channel

I honestly pegged him for multilingual. His pronunciations in English come across as very French to me, and being a Francophone gives you that rolled 'R' sound that makes Spanish sound legit. Just my theory lmao
