Blue Knight 9 (no. 2640), my cat DID beat me at chess!!!! Many years ago I played correspondence chess - yep, snail mail! I'd have up to 20 games at once. So I had little magnetic boards set up in a cupboard, each board with the current position from one game set up. I made a move in a particular game and sent the scoresheet off. A few days later I received the reply - mate!!!!! My board was set up with the wrong position. I couldn't work out why. Some weeks later I found my cat in the cupboard carefully pushing the pieces around with its paw. A few weeks later I got my revenge by beating the cat at tennis.
