402. You actually think checkers is a worthwhile use of a chessboard.
(Apologies if this one has been done before.)
1000 Signs you play chess too LITTLE!
Sort:
403. When you talk sports, you refer to coaches' strategic decisions as a 'game of chess' between the coaches.
(This one from Chess Byatch by J. Shahade)
404. You ask people "What is your favorite piece?"
When a chess player asks you to play chess, you take out checkers pieces ...

One of your recent puzzle compositions; Difficulty: HARD
It must be white to move, and you cannot force mate in 4.
You should know that...
405. You need descriptive notation because you think algebraic notation doesn't give enough information.
(Meaning that you need to be told the starting square for a move)

9. You promote your pawn to your opponents pieces
Actually that's quite interesting, if you could promote to your opponents pieces. In the diagram, the only way to mate in one, is to promote to a black knight! b8=BN!!#

401. You set up the board with Queens on opposite colors.
A friend of mine who had not played serious chess in years played his first tournament in the under 1200 section and promptly set his board up that way. His opponent was a young kid who probably was playing his first tourny and didnt see the mistake. It was only when trying to go over his game afterwords, did we realize the mistake... either someone had terrible chess notation skills or....... lol.
thats how they are supposed to be set up

409: You suck at chess
410: You pronounce chess as "chest"
411: You make an excuse about not playing chess when challenged (I thought everyone knew how to play chess!)
Today my (blind) friend asked me whether you can play a chess game with 3 people.
