I'm curious now, wondering what all those variations are. (But not curious enough to want to learn them!)
For years I thought the pretzel was a great move, and once I'd learned the double, then I could never do a single again
but the urge to do it has gone, along with many other moves (eg the windmill, the half & full nelson, and plenty that I don't know names of.) Then recently I learnt it as a follower (with a good leader), and my main impression was "what a boring move for the follower." Why did no one tell me when I was doing doubles, triples, quadruples ...
In the USA a few weeks ago there was a "fun" competition, during one section the compere was making fun of the pretzel and encouraging us to do as many as possible. I reckoned I could take anyone who was there, but I didn't want to have
that much fun!
Hey, there's an idea for Musselburgh's next fun category, Pretzel Max!
