Inside the list of the things being related to chess, there is also "going to bathroom" for me, because there are black&white square tiles like a chessboard at my bathroom floor

I've always wanted to see Synchronized Bowling become an Olympic event.

Sure, both require fingerspitzengefühl.

Bowling and chess are also related to mathematics.

And it's much harder to keep score in bowling than in chess.

You can play both of them while eating (and drinking).

No, Chess is clearly more closely related to Formula 1. 

Blitz games also require speed.

What opening is that on there?

Ruby-Fischer

Hmmm, I think its the Hamilton Defence

Good to see that formula 1 sticks to 8*8 and does not cave in to the commercial pressure to go 10*10. Respect.

I have never seen one, but I feel a black & white checkered bowling ball would look cool going down the lanes, especially if you put a spin on the ball! I have a ball that is transparent, and has a bottle of king of beers in it Bud. You can add or remove some of the beer depending on how much weight you want it to be, also half full gives it a weird break as it rolls down the lanes

Kco Thank you, now I will take that design to the bowling ball makers and see if they can make one for me!

So chess and disco are definitely related! I feel like dancing, night fever, night fever....

Okay, I'm gonna go one step further:  I think chess and bowling are the same.
