History Recap / BlueyChest

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Chili and Bandit's conversation has one of these when she wonders ''why'' he wants to make Bluey and Bingo so smart so fast.

* ExactWords: Chili promises Bluey she knows how to "beat [Bandit] in four moves". Now in a literal sense, she actually ''loses'' the game in so little time. But all the while, she has a conversation that disarms Bandit into realizing he doesn't just want his girls to be smart: he wants them to be self-reliant and ready for a life without their parents. So although Chili loses the game, on a moral play field, she really ''did'' beat her husband in those four moves.
* FreudianExcuse: A rather sweet variation. During a conversation with Bandit, Chili low-key uncovers just ''why'' he wants to teach their daughters such an advanced game like chess. He wants them to be smart, sure. But why? For the same reason any parent wants their child to be smart:
-->'''Chili:''' (What Bandit would say) "Right now, you kids are little prawns, but one day, you'll be queens. And I wont' always be there to protect you. So you'll have to look after yourselves. But I'm going to do whatever I can now to help you."

* LaserGuidedKarma: In-Universe. When Bandit brings up the King as the "most important" piece, Chili embarrasses him by enfeebling the King with how he's is actually the weakest piece for only moving one space at a time. Later on, when Bluey and Bingo try to use their Queen to retaliate Bandit, he takes it with his protected King, and even playfully [[LampshadeHanging remarks]] how it was the ''King'' who took down the Queen, [[{{Irony}} despite being the "weaker" of the two pieces]].

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Towards the end, Chili low-key credits that although his wish to make the kids intellectual through chess is misguided, Bandit is a "good king". Likewise, he returns the sentiment by saying Chili's a "good queen".

* AnAesop: It's more important to teach your kids how to be good people than ''just'' focusing on making them smarter.

** ArmorPiercingResponse: On Bandit's behalf, Chili uncovers that the reason he wants to teach his daughters such an advanced game is out of a [[HiddenDepths profound hope]] to make Bluey and Bingo self-reliant enough to take care of themselves, especially since they won't have their parents forever.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Chili and Bandit's conversation has one of these when she wonders ''why'' he wants to make Bluey and Bingo so smart so fast. To further disarm Bandit, Chili reveals she too wants their daughters to be smarter, but only so they'll be independent enough to take care for themselves when their parents are gone.

When Bandit brings up the King as the "most important" piece, Chili embarrasses him by enfeebling the King with how he's is actually the weakest piece for only moving one space at a time. Later on, when Bluey and Bingo try to use their Queen to retaliate Bandit, he takes it with his protected King, and even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how it was the ''King'' who took down the Queen, [[{{Irony}} despite being the "weaker" of the two pieces]].

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Chili and Bandit's conversation has one of these when she wonders ''why'' he wants to make Bluey and Bingo so smart so fast. Chili, while playing, reveals to Bandit her own wish for his daughters to be smarter out of a rather caring motivation that they'll be independent enough to care for themselves one day, when their parents are gone. So what's Bandit's reason then?

* ShoutOut: When Bandit starts to get frustrated over Bluey not understanding the rules of chess, Chilli quips to him "Let it go, Deep Blue", referring to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue_(chess_computer) chess-playing computer]] who famously defeated champion player Garry Kasparov in 1996 and 1997.

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Invoked by Bandit, who tries to teach Bluey and Bingo chess for precisely this reason. Unfortunately for him, Bluey and Bingo are still too young to grasp the rules of the game, being easily distracted by the elaborate chess pieces and turning the lesson into another one of their make-believe games.

* PunchClockVillain: In-Universe. While each chess piece is treated like a dangerous enemy in-game, Bluey and Bingo give them rather benign personalities. The Queen (utilizing her ability to "go anywhere") just wants to have a picnic, and the knight on one team is friends with a pawn on the other team.
