It was clear all along that the IM on this forum bore more intellectual resemblance to Vizzini, the overconfident bully, than a skilled swordsman. But seeing his smug face in the preview video only makes it more clear that he must have been confused about who was who in Florinthian history when he chose his screen name. Vizzini is a much closer fit all around.
JK told us so many times, in so many vile ways, exactly who he was … seems he himself is the only one who is confused about his identity.
As for why he’d blather on online, seems the whole clan misperceived their collective pigeon-level chess game as such high level mastery that the rest of the world is nothing but pawns. But like Vizzini, they were sorely mistaken about what the classic blunders are. It’s not “never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line”, it’s, “never go in against vacuumers, elderly mobsters in bathrobes, or pirates when your thin veneer of intellect, your family’s (dubious) honor, or your shady legal actions are on the line.”
