Yes, an unbelievable shot. It looks like pure luck that it worked.
But as Bobby Fischer once replied, when someone commented that he was lucky to have won a certain chess game, “The good player is always ‘lucky.'” That is, he creates his own [i]luck[/i].
Of course, as Christians, we believe that ultimately there’s no such thing as luck.
Thanks for posting this delightful footage, Kendall.
From the expression on his face, it seemed that he didn’t really have that much faith that his shot would have really worked. The only one more surprised would have been his opponent.
That is rediculous! I wish I could play like that.
