Today,
Little kid plays chess with our chess club... "Can the king do this?" And he jumps the king over the pawn, looking at us, waiting for an answer. "No, unfortunately not," one of our club members gently responded.
SO CUTE!! xD
We had our club's chess tournament yesterday... and there was one beginner who, at the endgame and was already losing, kept saying "Yolo!" after his each move. It was really funny! And he said, "Even chess pieces only live once..." lol...
Dragonair, I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE
(GG!) ^But hope not anytime soon cause I just got back into the 1400s! Let me enjoy it for a few days ;P lol

Exactly, so where did the idea even come from that math and chess are related
It has been found that learning math improves one's ability to solve problems and to think logically, both of which would make a chess player better.

Camber, two weeks without a post on this thread feels like an eternity, doesn't it? I was hoping I wasn't the only one feeling the withdrawal symptoms of lack of posts here. LOL!!! But seriously. And guys, we've gotta reach 1 million views on this thread. We're so close! And we'll have major bragging rights -- lolz (;

Sure, but let's remember that correlation does not always equal causation.
I think most of us can relate to this when playing Live Chess:
For example, I was playing a simple 15 minute game, and the guy decides to log off for like 10 minutes of his time after I checked him. The piece I was using to check with was protected, and his king was in the corner, so basically it looked like imminent doom. (I just wanted to make a threatening move before he checkmated me cause he was winning. Stuff non-chess players say LOL I know.) So he logs back on with 2 minutes on the clock and soon after checkmates me. But why'd he have to make me wait so long for no reason. Jerk. lol.
" How many moves does it take you to checkmate your opponent?"

Hi Toad 
Yes yes I think you're right hehe I guess he's the one teaching me chess.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBY FISCHER
Non-chesser when you tell them you play chess: "Oh, wow! Don't you have to be looking like, 7 moves ahead?"
and...
"What's your ranking?"
Both from personal experience.
P.S. I might have posted this like 50 pages ago, I'm not sure.
