@Cleoriff  and @jonsie 

Yep. I fell for that

[pgn]

Thanks for the gap and help, @Cleoriff, @, but my limited knowledge of Kings, English or otherwise, is limited

Perhaps I can make amends by proffering this King...

(It is a pain to switch from mobile to full to embed a video, btw!)

Well done everyone.
I'd like to answer next weeks mystery French question early if possible.

Answer is:

"And after 13 long minutes, they surrendered"

Brilliant @viridis

[MI5]

Cheese 😁
Well done everyone!

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone

@viridis  Brilliant and true...

@Mi-Amigo  I need to ask if you are in cahoots with @MI5 ??????

Yesterday you inferred his favourite football club (Liverpool) could be a topic. Today you state France is next weeks challenge. @MI5  has a second home in France....

All a bit fishy to me...

NB, in case anyone thinks I'm being serious, then you don't know me at all

[Glory1]

Well done everyone, and I love @viridis answer which, as @Cleoriff said, is so true.

Look forward to the question on France which, depending on the question, I may know something or nothing about 

[jonsie]

Well done everyone 👑 👑

Shucks I`ve been sussed. We Liverpool fans have to stick together when we have the Red Army to contend with

And anyone who believes that really doesn`t know what @Cleoriff calls [and I admit is] my "weird sense of humour".

All I`ll add is, wait till everyone sees the question!! As I said, it is not about the French language.

Oh and in two weeks time, I`ve got a much easier question [well some might think so ] and "No" I`m not saying what the subject is yet
