Have you ever played chess?

Please think about the question before you do anything.

Possibly....

I am working towards 'playing chess'. I am not sure where or what level playing chess actually starts on, although I believe 'playing chess' is at a much higher level than I have achieved to date.

No.

ive played chess. i was a pawn

Still thinking...

more than the op

I am sure I tried to play chess, but I'm also quite sure some of the better players would not qualify my, more or less random, piece movements as playing chess.

So how do you define "playing chess" ?

^ Illustration to clarify that moving the chess pieces at random is not enough to say you play chess.

Thanks for asking George - I'm going to need to get back to you on that.   In the meantime, please enjoy this gif of a woman feeding kangaroos . . .

All, this thread could become really nice if everybody just posts something great for us to look at while we pretend that we think about Gerorge's question :-) good stuff highnoon. What does a kangaroo eat??

Great idea - Mathot shared the chess-playing cat.   I have the kangaroos.   Let's see more pics while we think about whether we 'play chess'.   Is that okay with you George or have you abandoned this thread?

   By the way - according to the internet - kangaroos are grazing herbivores who eat grasses and other vegetation, and occasionally fruit.   

And when I say that kangaroos 'occasionally eat fruit', I mean they only eat fruit on special occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, and so forth.   

I have played chess.

Are you implying that @George's bare-chested fruity drinks might attract lots of kangaroos to his thread?  But only if it's a special Jewish Celebration Day?

Please think about those questions @George, before you respond.

hmm....I vaguely remember playing chess...in a dream perhaps?

Buahahahahahhaaaaaaa!

I'm still thinking about the question - here's some penguins:

That is Ozzie C Cobblepot!

Ozzie must be a mean-spirited guy!   Needs to work on his social skills . .
