This thread screams iout loud...and it's not a good word.
First Date Question
Sort:
"Flip the board and challenge you to a duel instead."
We establish a common law marriage by consummating it right there and then on the restaurant table for everyone to witness.
Say you are on a first date, and want to learn as much about the other person as fast as possible.
Here is one simple question to determine more than any other:
"If I were to play e4, how would you respond?"
huh?/I don't get it/I don't understand
Not worth dating. Pick a real boyfriend/girlfriend.
I don't play chess
As far as normal people go... this one might not be bad.
King's Pawn Game
Boring. You'll be done with this person in 6 months, save yourself the time.
Sicillian Dragon
This person likes jumping onto bandwagons... and doesn't really have a personality of his own.
Sicillian Sheviningan
This person likes saying the word "Sheviningan". He probably doesn't know what the actual move order is.
Sicillian Yugoslav attack
It is not a good idea to date someone who plays hope chess.
Sicillian Nadorjf
This person likes Tal and Fischer- Gold pick!
French defense
This person is a jerk. Leave the date immediately.
Pirc defense
A good pick if you're into someone who just rolls over to your demands and does whatever you tell them.
Modern defense
Only a good pick if you like paintings of paint splattered on canvasas and flautists who whistle through their flutes.
Scandinavian defense
Probably a good person to date!
However, not good at chess.
Caro-kann
This person loves chess more than you. Only a good choice if you're into that sort of thing.
Duras Gambit
Kiss him/her, right now. Do it, no hesitation.
Them tell them that is the equivilient of what they are doing over the chess board and leave the date.
Alekhine Defense
This person is gay. You should be worried if you are on a date with someone of the same sex and they give an answer other than this.
Barnes Defense
Tell them kudos that they know the name of the defense, but that it's still not a real defense and then leave the date.
Borg defense
Ask them.
"What's your plan. I mean, actually? What is your actual plan?"
Both in real life and over the chess board, they live one move at a time.
Goldsmith defense
The only person who plays this opening is Rush Limbaugh... what are you doing on a date with Rush Limbaugh?
Ware defense
This person likes Bernie Sanders, or is from Sweden.
St. George Defense
This person is a democrat. Demand an answer to the question of why they did not secularize the name of the opening.
Carr Defense
This person sucks at chess, but on the upside would not vote for Bernie Sanders.
Nimzowitch Defense
If you are at dinner, refuse to order. Simply keep waiting and waiting and not making up your mind. After your date gets frustrated, tell them this is the equivilent of what they are doing over the chessboard and leave.
Hippopotamus defense
This person is OCD.
Lemming Defense
This person is a hipster. Steer clear.
