It is no secret that chess is a game of a lot of depth. It is not a simple sport: some consider it to be a science, while others see it as an art form. Sometimes, though, people can view it as a joke—and a pretty good one, too!

In that spirit, we decided to display hilarious chess memes in an article. Many memes were collected and then voted on by the Chess.com staff, and 20 made the final cut. Numerous great contenders did not make it to the final list, but we are sure that the ones we do have will get you rolling on the floor laughing.

Without further ado, we present you with the winners.
