Ja, Franz? Is it time for us to pump! [Clap] You up?

Not sure if that's where you were going, my comment from before is just a literal translation of OP's username.

I get the Hans & Franz reference, but I didn't notice OP's username. My reference is to chess grandmaster Hans Niemann describing how he beat world champion Magnus Carlsen in a controversial match.

Chess speaks for itself.

Lines up nicely as "chess ipsa loquitur" as long as you don't mind being hunted to the ends of the Earth by dead language pedants.
