Q. What is the Star Wars move in chess?

A.  R to d2

Any ideas for a chess club dinner menu?

Obviously we could have pawn cocktail for starter, and possibly the fried liver. Maybe a fischer pie?

In South Africa you can wash that down with a cold Castle.

nice one.rooperi.is it a beer?

If it was a chinese meal, I suppose you could have a choice of starters, say pawn crackers and chinese spare rybka

Yeah, it's a lager.

I'm getting board with this now.....

You could have an Indian meal.

Maybe some Scotch to drink.

I suppose having a meal out is very much like a game of chess...it ends with a cheque.

Numbersix, do you ever pick up the check, mate?

The old saw:

A hotel was hosting a chess tournament, and the first evening some of the players were waiting near the front desk for some friends. They were talking about the games they'd won that day to pass the time. The manager came up and asked them to stop talking.

"Why?" asked on of the players, "we're just talking quietly and not disturbing anyone."

"I'm sorry," replied the manager, "I just can't stand the sound of chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

very droll ichabod..not heard that one before

There once was a team whose chosen name was something on the order of: "Benoni Sämisch on Ruy with a Falkbeer."

eddiewsax , I didn't know there were people like me all over the world..sickening isn't it? Nice one..brings a smile to a dull day

Bur_Oak...these are getting better and better, I suppopse with a little mispronunciation you could have a hambit in your Samisch.

why was the pawn so happy?  because he got a promotion.  what band do chess players like the most?  Queen    what super hero do chess players like most?  Gambit   why did the bishop go to jail?  because he was a bad bishop      what do you call a socially awkward pawn?  a backward pawn    what do you call a boring wife/husband?  a stalemate    why are doubled pawns bad?  cause two pawns dont make a right      what do you call a civil servant in solitary confinement?  an isolated pawn   

the only stalemate you will experience is your wife!!!

You are awarded 8 groans, jpd303, I shall file you away in the top rank.

i hope this isnt offensive but i just thought of it...what can you do to a cross dresser in a hockeygame that you cant do on a chess board?  check a queen...i better keep myself in check...
