I used to like Bobby Fischer and his contributions to the world, but I lost all respect for him after finding out he also played chess.
you can’t judge a fish by how well it can climb a tree
You can, when what you need is something that can climb a tree.
well i wouldn’t consider a fish at all if i need something that can climb a tree
Sure you can. Plenty of fish can climb trees quite well!

(Phylogenetically speaking, all tetrapods are fish, including squirrels, monkeys, iguanas, etc.)
well you know what i always say, there are plenty of fish in the tree.
Tap for spoiler
i’d say descended from fish doesn’t count as fish
You can’t evolve out of a clade.
Is this referencing a specific game?
Yeah, it’s a famous game (game 1) from the World Chess Champtionship in 1972.
Fischer was flustered about various conditions of the tournament and made an amateurish blunder by taking a “free” pawn with his bishop, which Spassky then immediately trapped.
