I remember reading the rulebook and it caused spontaenous combustion in the head.

I know how to play chess and I know roughly what moves to watch out for. But I ain't a grand master lol.

I never knew how to play chess. I guess my brain isn't mathematical enough. (in other words, I'm too stupid!)


..... Whenever I think "chess" I think the great movie Revolver though.

I haven't played chess in years! Maybe I should break out the board!

wish we could have some trf chess tourneys!
I built my own chess board back in high school, and a box to place it in. and foam pads cut to size in order to place them in the box as well - without them getting broken (nice ceramic pieces). The board even has my name burned into it with a laser!!

ahhh wood shop. I miss having all that equipment to use for free.

GAHH... I can't find it!!
