Ben makes Paul a knight

Ben decides that Paul can become a chess piece, which can then be moved around a lot, especially if he were a knight.

Ben spends three quarters of his time making a rudimentary chess board with rope, placing some chess pieces in their correct positions, with Paul in the place of one of the white knights.

With just two minutes remaining, Ben begins to play a game of chess, and we see him move Paul a couple of times. He then claims “I think that’s check”, but just as he is about to make the final move, Paul blows his whistle.

In the studio, Jeremy comments that Ben had done a lot of running around during the attempt, while Paul had hardly moved at all. Paul confirms that Ben had moved him eight times during the game, which Jeremy decides is “pathetic”.

Ben earns 3 points.
