before i post this, i'm warning everyone that this is meant to be in jest and humorous. ok? chillax!!!!!

reasons why chess (the game) is bad should be banned:

1. it's racist ... whites vs blacks.

2. it represents elitist, monarchist society ... the entire purpose of chess is to protect the king and the first ones to get killed are the pawns!

3. it has a caste system ... each piece has a 'value', with some pieces being superior to others and more valuable.

4. it encourages violence and glorifies war ... the premise of the game is to conquor and kill your enemies.

feel free to add some more ...

well in that sense it perfectly mirrors real life...dont u agree?

This post belongs in the second tier of repetitive posts, after Who's the greatest, Are women as good as men, What's your favorite piece, etcetera.

Not so bad I guess.

The post was edited and it's a joke, but this has been done so many times by people that were dead serious that it just doesn't work anymore.

true ... it does.

i'm just bored and being a bit silly ... so i don't know what the facepalm is about! ;)

I'm guessing first tier would be resign threads?

 Oh yeah, and a special place setting for "Is the sky blue?"

fair enuf ... i usually don't hang out in the forums much ... i'm trying to make myself read more.

hence, i had no idea that this was such a frequent topic ---> though, i could have guessed.

sorry for being cliched.

No problem. This thread was much more enjoyable than most.

Try mocking a resign thread. Plenty of laughs there;

the King and Queen are alway on vacation, sitting around doing nothing ! 

Resign ! resign !
don't resign !
yes !
no !

here we go again ...

Or try mocking the repetitive mocking mockers of repetitive mocking threads?

The point is to keep repetitive threads to a minimum allowing people to be able to search for info quicker. There's no reason to repeat something that's been covered.

"is the sky blue?", lol!

Another reason why its so racist because white has a higher chance of winning then black.. right?

Ok if U feel so... i'll give U chance to play as Black first.
