5,000 Signs You Don't Know Enough About Chess

2890. You are a ginger kid who thinks he's good at chess. You and your two friends must win a giant game of wizard's chess to save the world, and you must each physically play as a piece. Being a great player, you put yourself and both your friends in danger by not choosing any of you to play as the king. Additionally, you play the Scandinavian.

Yeah, I never got the whole riding the pieces thing.  They didn't have to for the first move.

Haha I never realised that. Also worth mentioning is that the final position in the game wasn't checkmate; the king had one move left because the other bishop was blocked off.

As such:

2891. You were in charge of the chess game scene in thye firat Harry Potter movie and didn't realise that the final position you designed wasn't checkmate; therefore all of the characters should have died.

Did they have to play until mate, or could the game decide to resign?  It's been ages since I've seen it, so I don't remember the details.

A Dutch master once tested my knowledge of chess. He asked me to play blindfold with him. So I started '1. e4.' '1... e5', he replied. 'Ok, 2. Nc3.' 'Then 2... Nc6'. '3. Bb5', I said. 'Ah, you know enough of chess', he said. I frowned out of curiousity. 'What do you mean?'

2892. If you would not know enough of chess you would say 'bishop out' at the third move.

2893. You play until you lose a pawn

you are rated 1330 and your name is cjt33 =) lol

Depends on the pawn ;)

2894.  After blundering your pieces, you continue to play since you haven't lost a pawn.  Then, after a little mistake, the other player's advantage goes from 31 up to 32.

It's been an uphill battle to get the 3000, I can't imagine 4000, and 5000 is still a ways away. Just an update, folks.

I've been following this thread too, and I agree 100%. Plus you have either guys that can't count, or trolls that purposely change the number backwards. Ah well. How about a meme to make this post somewhat interesting?
