chess

Just played three games against Batman. Won the first, but the next two ..... ouch.

 

Sorry, Jake, but I gotta brag on this...Game 2 featured a four-move checkmate. Game 3 was probably the best of the bunch, though. Quite competitive until he made a bad move and lost his queen at the end.

 

It's allright. I forgot a pretty basic rule to protect myself from that bishop with a pawn. Game 3 was good, but I think you were on your way to winning without the bad move. I was trying to keep putting you in check and maneuver the queen around to take that rook that was protecting the pawn that became the second queen. If I couldn't do that I didn't have much of a chance.

I'll definitely look forward to playing you again or anyone else from SportsJournalists.com.

 

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were
standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."



That's all I got!

 

I won a school championship when I was younger. I still play a bit. PM me if you want my Yahoo addy.

 

Bah-dum-bum-chhhhh!
He'll be here all week folks. Be sure to try the veal.

 

Awful.

Truly horrible.

You go to the box, two minutes, and you feel shame.

 

I've got worse, Zeke, but I don't want to jack the chess thread

 

I haven't played chess since about 2001. It became all about the money and groupies.

 

Nah ... that's five minutes. Really shabby.

 

Just in case anyone cares, since I didn't post this before: I go by weinberg6 on the yahoo chess boards. I usually play in one of the social or beginners rooms. I'm rated in the 1300s. Usually play fairly late at night. Just invite me or post a time and we can play sometime. Some of the rooms there are usually empty, so we should be able to meet pretty easily.

 

I'll just stick with my bars, my temples, my massage parlors.
