Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I stand corrected.

A mate in 12 is more fun anyway

The ellipsis belongs before "Be8", which otherwise would be an illegal move. The "well" can do with a comma.
