What is this? Don't do that. Don't do that. Anyways, they deserve huge bonuses. They're amazing. And what they did was amazing.

It's pretty clear you did not know how to play, but now you can learn on Duolingo.

I'm telling you, what's amazing about, you know, I've been using it, of course, it really gets you from zero. Not only do you learn how to move the pieces, which is important, but also you learn strategy. And you get to a pretty good spot.

This is it. I mean, eventually we'll probably do higher levels, but at the moment we're targeting entry point. I mean, if you either don't know anything about chess or roughly know how to move the pieces, but don't feel very comfortable playing chess with anybody because you think you're going to get beaten, this is a great product for you to use. And that's a lot of people.

I should say one other thing, which is really interesting, and it's a big belief we have at Duolingo. You know, the first 20 employees of Duolingo were not very good at learning languages, but... We were not language nerds. None of that. I'm not very good at learning a language. I'm not a language nerd. I'm not particularly interested in learning languages.

And what that did is it made us create a product for the average person. Had we been language nerds, we would have made a product for language nerds. Interesting. And I think this is true. And by the way, Tyler and Edwin, they are not excellent chess players at all. I am not an excellent chess player, but I'm pretty sure I'm significantly better than they are.
