Some of my chess limericks

Hey everyone!  Here's a collection of some chess limericks I have come up with.  Enjoy!

 

 

I once played against Kasparov

Tal, Morphy, Fischer, and Karpov

I have no time portal

Nor am I immortal

Tis in a dream that I speak of

--------------------------------------------------------

A man moved his queen to d4

Then his jaw suddenly dropped to the floor

The move had looked keen

But he hadn't seen

The other guy's rook on b4.

-------------------------------------------------------

This girl pushed her pawn to c6

And put white in a really nice fix

The guy she was playing

Could be seen dismaying

Over the fact that she'd seen through his tricks

------------------------------------------------------------------------

On e5 a knight ruled the board

Put there by a player's accord

But, then the had a look

And saw it blocked his rook

Truly the knight was a two-edged sword

----------------------------------------------------------------

A man made a bold double sac

To form an attack from the back

He received some weird looks

When he sacced both his rooks

But the onlookers soon saw the attack

-----------------------------------------------------------

In a game I saw a great sight

It looked like I would win the fight

But I hadn't seen

My defenseless queen

I left her en prise to his knight

Thanks!

There once was a pirate with hooks

Who traded his queen for two rooks

As the crew set sail

They started to wail

The mate was a bishop, gad zooks!

 

The queen was mean beyond measure

Taking rooks from the board was her pleasure

Her cackle was vile

As she ran down the file

And snatched my rooks for her treasure.

StrategicusRex

The king sent his pawns out to war

But there was nothing they hated more

The knights boldly beat back

Their half-hearted attack

And sent them crawling away on the floor

electricpawn

Mt opponent was frail and gray

And he nodded off as we played.

Then he sprang from a snore,

Announced checkmate in four,

Yawned, grabbed his cane and walked away.

I quickly placed a rook on f8,

Eager to quickly seal the black king's fate,

But I hadn't seen

That I hung my queen.

That'll teach me to try a cheap mate.

csharpe

Ah, my queen when you give me that look
you know that I'll set down my book
it's off to the races
to control middle spaces
but now I have hung my poor rook

Little pawn with ambitions of glory
has set out to write his own story
with intrigue I concur
when a he turns to her
A rogue queen now; it's going to get gory

I've defended all game as I'm able
my troops scattered like in the old fable
he's attacked me with glee
all I've done now is flee
but methinks that I'll soon turn the table

csharpe

Her pawn, while out on a bender,
became most confused as to gender
he advanced cross the ranks
without notice or thanks,
and now? I must plan how to end her

electricpawn

Monroe was a chess playing star

And he liked to play in a bar.

As the pieces fell

Bottles did as well

So they called him a courtesy car.

 

Joan is a chess chess playing hottie

Opponents admire her body

She'll give you a wink

And disrupt your think

And make your bishop feel naughty.

Great Limericks! You've inspired me to give it a try . . . so here goes . . .

 

A White King once reigned from a throne

Safe behind high walls of stone.

Though his castles were doubled,

Still he was troubled,

'Cause his Queen had gone out on her own. - (R. Anderson-4/22/2010)
