Anyone have any chess puns? You know, stuff like:

"Reti or not, here I come!"

"Come follow me and I will make you a Fischer of men..."

I prefer a little knight music when I try to think about chess pawns, uh, puns.

When I am about to resign to some mate, I check the board one more Short time before I throw in the Tal.  The game is Tarrasch by then.  I usually then throw the pieces to the Flohr, but then who Keres?  I give my opponent the Bird and walk off.

Here's rooking at you, kid.  I'll have Nunn of that, those sons of bishops.

Although this is not chess related it is one of my favorites.

 I once entered a pun writing contest. I wrote ten puns to improve my chances of winning, but unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Q: How does an Australian announce he is attacking your king?

A: Check, mate.

I like this one, but credit goes to zygnite.   I adore my queen, but she says she's just a fool's mate.

There was a man and his dog playing chess on a park bench. Soon, there was a crowd around the two. One woman proclaimed, "That dog is so smart! How did you teach him to play chess?" The man answered, "He's not that smart...he's losing 3 games to 1." (a joke I think I found somewhere on this site)

The great chess grandmaster Alexander Alekhine was once asked by a playful interviewer whether he preferred the queen on the board or on the bed. "It depends," he replied, "on the position."

Every year, Bobby Fischer invites all of his friends over for Christmas dinnner, but they never seem to get all the way in the house.  They all stand in the hallway bragging about great games they have won.  The neighbors called to ask what all the commotion was about, and Mrs. Fischer simply replied, "eh, its just chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good knight.
