I think it would be a brilliant idea to build an underground chess bunker incase of a worst case scenario. Where the worlds chess players could go to, to carry on and preserve this great game?

Are you being serious jona004?

Let me know when you get it finished.

Yeah I am. The brainiest people in the world are chess players, so it should be only right that we get the chance to carry on to build greater things. We could have simuls and a vast chess library down there. It could be used for other disasters too like earthquakes, hurricanes and other acts of god.

The football bunker guys would just come over and knock pieces around and tweak nerd noses, and steal any good looking women.

False statement.

unsubstantiated leap of logic.

Weird fantasy.

"Mr. President , we must not allow... a mine shaft gap!"

Its a possibility with the financial backing of government.

I'd prefer the simpler solution of preventing the nuclear war in the first place.

So far so good....

...oh, wait, right.

jona is as drunk as kittteh!

Wonder which supermodels you plan on  kidnapping + bringing with us to procreate with and ensure the survival of our brain-iest species?   Assuming you didn't factor this into your design plans, I'd be extremely worried about how you'd "maintain the tension".

And, for optimum procreation the ratio of females to males should be 10 to 1.

We were nuked???

We apologized?

Well... where are all the children in 50 years?

If we have a nuclear war much worse problems exist than preserving chess. However if people were living in bunkers to avoid the radiation I'm sure they would naturally play some games of chess as well as cards.

I'd prefer to keep it old school with some table-top D&D.

"You find yourself in a 40x20 ft underground bunker ... a reinforced steel door is all that separates you from the ghastly effects of radiation fallout on the surface ... oh, waitasecond ... that's us right now. FML!"

I see nothing wrong in planning for the inevitable end of the world. The glass IS half empty, and the word entropy does come to mind, not to be confused with the Second Law of Thermodynamics. I don't want to get a bunch of physicists all worked up.
