How do you behave after a game?

Nah good chess players are usually good pool players. I wouldn't look at poker.

I once played an IM at blitz chess, and what with him drinking a little etc., I won 2 or 3 games out of 7 or 8. The next day he invited me to play pool. Now that was some beating I got !

It's OK, though, if the cold analysis was performed by the voices.

The voices always know best.

The voices tell me waffles are better.

Definitely one of the top feuds ever.

On a lighter note, Top Horns:

5. Air

4. Honk

3. Klaxxon

2. Beep Beep

1. Aooooga


Actually I believe that Dennis Brain would be considered the top horn, at least in my list.

If Afaf would just admit that pancakes are the best then all would be right with the world.

 


That's so not gonna happen.  lol. 

EDIT:  And I see you tried to make it out like Chappelle is in your camp.  I bet he prefers waffles too.


Pancakes are better though!

Wow... did this post take off or what? flags vs. afaf.... pancakes vs. waffles?

horns?!...LOL

(Attemting to stear the plane back on course...)

Yea... I dont like losing.. especially to players hundreds of points below my rating (see worst loss...gawd that hurt)..

but... I ussually politely give them their due... maybe even a trophy if it was especially well played.

You're kidding right? I mean, honestly, how can you call yourself a chess player without an intimate knowledge of "Top Horns" from both the White and Black perspective? Flabbergasted.

clms_chess, please stay on the topic of either top horns or waffles vs. pancakes. If you want to talk about a post-game experience where you and/or your opponent ate pancakes and/or waffles while honking, feel free to do so.

Why on earth would anyone choose waffles?  Not only are they an obviously inferior food, but they require equipment to make which cannot be used for any other purpose!  No, it won't do at all.

TheGrobe

Inferior?  They have pockets specifically designed to hold syrup.  They are a fit for purpose food, just like the equipment required to make them.  They are, in fact, near perfect in that sense.  The same simply can't be said of pancakes.

Pancakes are practical too.

If you accidentally lock yourself in a room without food (we've all done that, right?) friends can pass you pancakes under the door till the locksmith arrives.

Kramer: I think we are looking half a millimeter.

Elaine: Can it cut that thin?

Kramer: Oh, I've cut slices so thin, I couldn't even see them.

Elaine: How did you know you cut it?

Kramer: Well, I guess I just assumed!

theoreticalboy

Look, pancakes are circular (well, when I make 'em anyway), nature's perfect shape.  Waffles are this weird big square with a bunch of smaller squares included in the design - I mean who likes that sh... oh.  Right.

ivandh

Squares are a much more efficient shape than circles.

theoreticalboy

Pancake batter is much better for incorporating other foodstuffs; this alone makes it worthy of top billing.

as i am relatively healthy, and don't see death on the horizon, i am doing just this.  thanks for the kind words.  it's nice to see that you really are a "nice girl" and not that you're just claiming to be.


I did say please.

Are you serious?


You two are the Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King of the chess world.

With wafles you don't need to add more stuff. They are perfect as is.

Skipgugg found another use for them in his story- no, that's not a chessboard tattoo
