Something educational - that also highlights the dangers of alcohol ...

Are you planning to write the material yourself - or re-use existing funny stuff? There's some hilarious discussions on chess.com - about resigning, rudeness, resource use, rapidity of play, reticence to chat, right openings to use, resisting advice, retreating into groups, ragging an opponent, reading during play, rook openings, ... These illustrate how quickly reason departs and irrational ranting takes over.

Imagine this: 3 simultaneous, interleaved discussions about:

A. The fact that you disparagingly refer to someone who consults a database as a "user" is ridiculous all on it's own.

B: I like rude players; you dont have to talk to them

C: The massive support that the 'nonresigners' receive here, shows that USA is not a country of much chess tradition and culture.

D: And I would compare not using a database with trying to study for an exam without using books.

E: Why don't you only play the computer then? When you play with your friends OTB, do you just play in silence the whole game?

F: You can keep your opinion, but you have also to live with the fact that there is a huge community of good chess players who does not share your view at all.

MAYBE IT'S NOT SO FUNNY, AFTER ALL!

 

Fascinating material also in these discussions ...

Just watch anything by Monty Python for a good sketch.
