    111. You think "in pass" (en passant) means you capture the pawn sideways, like a4xb4.

    True story, by the way.

    113. you think it is ok not to announce check and when they do not notice that their king is under attack and instead moves something else, you have the right to capture it and announce checkmate (the king is dead)

    Um... I get what you mean, but:

    Just for fun, a maze!  No capture, and no promotion.  (Mate in 7)

    114:  You think the point of the game is to get your king to the other side of the board.  If neither side can, it's a draw (including mate).

    115:  Only the king and queen may capture a king or queen!

    117. You think pawns are only allowed to move one square ahead only. if you see someone move a pawn 2 squares ahead on its first move, you accuse the other player of cheating.

    119. When someone tells you check, you tell them that you prefer using credit cards for all transactions.
