360. When you're playing an untimed game and you hit the table in an attempt to hit the nonexistent clock.
Maroon5fan

361. The idea of being in a human chess game thrills you. (Where people are the chess pieces.)

I hope the time controls are not too long.

202. You know that the least ammount of material that can be used to checkmate your opponents King without using your own king in the mating net is 4 pawns.
Or a bishop/knight:
If you're going to allow the use of opponent's pieces to block escape squares, of course just two pawns is enough. (One pawn would need to be defended by the king, which is excluded).

364. you play a game before going out that you lose then you use your whole time trying to figure out how you could defend the position while you're out

46. You have checkquered table mat, coaster, table cloth, door mats, curtain, carpet, bedsheet, blanket.
I'm still looking for the chess door mats.

365. you have played three games of chess per day at least for the past 365 days.
3 games/year is hardly playing chess too much.
I would agree that 3 games a year isn't too much. However, I have played far more than 3 games in the past year. More like 12,000 give or take.
I meant each day so I will edit it.
