After your queen sacrifice, you tell yourself, “At least he won't be using that pawn any more.”

Never read stuff like this while eating

 

you could have at least warned us!

And funny enough, I was actually reading this while eating

If you think that chess players must always pay for things with a check

If you think that people marry chess players because they make good mates

When your opponent says checkmate you think match.com

you trade as much as you can so you can play with the pieces on the side

You are a bad chess player when you make a move and it becomes known as the "dodd gambit".

You know you're a bad chess player when you try to teach your rook to fly

You're a bad chess player if you never play chess.

you sac all your power pieces for your opponent's pawns.  At least he can't get another queen!

None of this is that bad. When I was first starting chess I ended up winning a game on time frustrated with my opponent for getting up and leaving the board with over 40 minutes left on his clock. Turns out he got up and left because I had checkmated him.

LMAO...hilarious! How good were you to steal a checkmate against a guy who knew it was checkmate while you didn't know

You play as black in this game to run when the queen comes out.

Chessdude, Your spaced out comment is funny!!!

Thanks for the laugh.  I needed it.

By the way, as the originator of this thread, I think it safe to say that a true sign that you're a bad chess player is if your icon is Heinz Defenschmirtz and your user name is camiller0122.

When you post this form topic!!

The fact that you're posting in this thread probably means you're a bad chess player. (yeah... kinda applies to me)

You play 1. e4 and your opponent says “Mate in 6.”

Members of your chess club start chuckling when you walk through the door.

You discover that a tournament is not a good place or time to learn the “en passant” rule.

haha.. in my very first tournament.. I had learned the touch move in my very 5th move 0r 6th that my opponent didn't forgive.

actually his chess.com rating should be lower, notice that he only plays lower rated players to make his rating higher.

You think en passant is cheating.

You think most other people think en passant is cheating. (sebleb)
