About
"Maravillosa Jugada", translated as "Outstanding Move", is a reaction image macro often used as to express a genuine or, in some cases, sarcastic response to a well-executed (or poorly executed, if the meme is used sarcastically) plan. The phrase is usually quoted as a caption in an image featuring a man gesturing towards a chessboard diagram.
Origin
The image used in this reaction originates from a video in an article posted on the Spanish news outlet ElPais.com, "La jugada mágica de Bogolyúbov" or "The magical play of Bogolyúbov," which was posted on February 27th, 2017.[1] The article recalls a chess match between chess grandmasters Ludwig Rellstab and Yéfim Bogolyúbov in 1940. In the video attached to the article, a man named Leontxo García, who hosts a video series on chess for El Pais, uses a chessboard diagram to re-enact the chess match. At one point in the video, the García declares a particular move by Bogolyúbov "marivillosa" ("outstanding"). The video attached to the article was uploaded on El Pais's official YouTube channel on March 4th, 2017.[2] Within two years, the video has received more than 140,000 views (shown below).[3]
