I don't know if any of you know Hejman's "Sound Smart About" quiz series. Anyone can contribute and make a quiz (20 questions, multiple choice, 4 answers per question) on a topic they're knowledgeable about. I thought chess would be a neat topic to make a quiz on. I'd like to hear if you can come up with any good ideas for questions! (I have a few myself, but I thought why not ask the one group that has to do with Sporcle AND chess? )

Good Idea! Maybe a question about a piece?
Which piece can move up, down, left, right, and diagonally?

Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook

Looking forward to it! Possibly a question about openings? And maybe about algebraic notation or current/former chess grandmasters.

I'd definitely bring up a question about the highest-ranked female player, Judit Polgár, who reached #8 in the world in 2004.

Sorry about before. Mobile struggles. Anyway, definately have a Polgar question, and I'd also say do one about Kasparov vs Deep Blue.

@ChewsOnPawns sent me a Sporcle message with feedback. I made some edits, it should be good to go now.

I made a few MORE changes after I showed the quiz to Hejman, it's live now! (I guess I just had to make it a bit more "accessible" to non-chess people.)
