What does "CLUTCH" even mean?

Reminds me of this guy from Degrassi (in the car, he was always too cool for school).

So what is the meaning? Chess Loves Us Then Coronavirus Happens

Or maybe, Coronavirus Leaves Us Then Chess Happens

Any chess related reasons to call an event "Clutch"?

I’ve heard of “clutching” when your in a bad position and clutching for something other then a loss. At least that’s how a chess book I read explained it.

Why should you not partially press the clutch?

because when not fully engaged it would burn it up/wear it down. needed to be fully engaged or not fully engaged.

 

u know what the thrust bearing does? i changed the clutch a few times for old VW's.
