I don't believe there will be any possessions in Heaven, so probably no chess sets, but if you can plan blindfold chess, you can play all you want.
Any possibility of chess in the afterlife?any ideas?suggestions?

Im with you all the way brother! Its "the next episode". dahdadadahdah
I would rather play chess for eternity than to sing glorius hymns for eternity. The later would really be torturous.
Playing chess would get old after about 100 years. Then they could make the game more complicated.

If you can imagine those European avant-garde movies where people sit around talking about the Marxist superstructure as it relates to the shape of their genitals (or whatever), but with the stylistic devices applied to a Japanese horror movie with equal amounts of gore and goofiness, then you have the beginnings of a definition of the insane fun that House provides.

As we all know if your good enough at chess you never die. How? Well, it is a well known fact that you can extend your life by beating the grim reaper in a game of chess.
Well okay was hoping to let other people use their brain cells working through it to entertain me but the monkeys wont dance to my commands. Here goes: In Heaven you play Kasparov and you are a genius who gently gives him pointers on his game, in hell you are a simpleton who does not understand why you are losing to this guy and why your Parnham attack is failing; in limbo you have to sit and watch both sets of games and provide analysis and commentary. In heaven you play chess with pieces made of chocolate cake and eat them; in hell they are made of something else; in limbo you are glad you have no appetite, witnessing both planes. In heaven you take a standing ovation to the cheers of chess groupies at a simultaneous display; in hell you turn up for the simul against all your primary teachers, clergy flower-arranging old ladies and female relatives you have ever met and realise you are naked and there are no doors; in limbo you take great solace in the fact you are one of the anonymous fee payers playing the master. In heaven you realise that there is more to life than chess but that chess has let you focus your mind and ascend; in hell you realise that the game has tortured you to the point where hell might be a slight improvement; in limbo there is only the game. I could go on but you are possibly bored already, feel free to continue in this vein, my 2 cents are up.
Since you can't take your board and pieces with you, one would need to play blind.

Ironic, isn't it? Those who insist they see are the ones most blind and those who know they are playing blind see in a way others never will until they come to understanding.
I'm still struggling with the question of whether God is ok with the amount of chess I've played in THIS life.
"I gave you all those years, and all that intelligence, and you used them to do WHAT? And how about all those times you took my name in vain because you lost or you thought your opponent insulted you?"

Okay, that time I did understand the first paragraph. 
And anyway, it was definitely better than all these goobers talking about chess in the afterlife.
Its cool andy..its 2 die 4..
Thing is.u gatta get to heaven 1st to play eternal chess..but thats another subject.i think its an innocent enuf hoby,mayb there.but then again if we hv enhanced mental powers,there,we may solve it in jus like a milennia,then spend the rest of eternity chessless.darn.
