Please feel free to add a chess limerick! 

Here is one i made for my niece:

There was a little girl who played chess

Whose skills, in it, were a terrible mess.

She played with a master,

Which ended in disaster.

After that, to a game, she seldom said yes!

A master in chess I would like to be

but not playing chess its not hard to see

this dream of mine will stay a dream

but silly as it may seem

I still want to become a master

when i play as black.

I don't really like your limerick (particularly the word choice), but I do like that the last line rhymes with the first 2 lines (unlike the other one).

your chess limericks are bad,

annoying, depressing, sad,

stupid, horrible,

ugly, terrible,

and reading them makes me mad.

I've posted these in another thread somewhere, but I like them so what the hell, they can go in here as well

There once was a wily tactician

Who got into a winning position.

But then he said "Sh*te,

I've blundered a knight!

I think I need extra tuition."

A grandmaster wrinkled and frail

Was playing a well-endowed female.

While sneaking a look

He blundered his rook

His features went horribly pale.

From 1997:
"Man versus Machine" it was billed
And each day the auditorium filled!
An interesting fight -
With Garry first to have White
Can anyone claim they weren't thrilled?
The first game proved Garry still King
"Deep Blue hasn't learned anything!"
Quickly out of its book
It later "won" Garry's Rook
Does this thing even belong in the ring?
But then Kasparov resigned in Game 2
And at the time nobody knew
Later shown he could draw
Did this stick in his craw?
Others may be wondering too!
"The printouts!" Kasparov cried
"Why was I so flatly denied?"
So they were then sealed
Only later revealed
One point each -- this match is now tied!
Games 3, 4, and 5 were all drawn
Deep Blue did indeed have some brawn!
It's now winner take all
So don't fumble the ball
(Or in our case don't fumble a pawn!)
Game 6 was the most startling yet
And I'm sure it cost many a bet
Deep Blue sacked a Knight
Quickly proved this was right
And so began all the talk on the "Net"
This chess match made worldwide news
And most thought that Deep Blue would lose
But with its three-and-a-half
If you do the math
You'll find Garry's the one with the "blues!" 
No machine has done it 'till now
Bested our champion in match play -- kapow!
While few thought it would
Deep Blue proved that it could
And Garry is wondering "How?"
"I was not in the mood to fight"
Said the champ to the press that night
"But let this be clear"
"I guarantee -- do you hear?"
"I will tear it to pieces!" -- he might!
So, in New York on the eleventh of May
Of '97, the records will say
A machine, no less
Sat down to play chess
And proved that it really can play!
"Rematch" was then heard through the land
It is something we ALL should demand
For if Deep Blue will square-off
One more time with Kasparov
The games would be certainly grand!
We really have nothing to fear
Computers can help us, it's clear
And although Deep Blue won
And had its day in the sun
I think "chess" was the real winner here!
