You think you can decide between which of your 16 peices to move by flipping one coin! ^_^
4 tosses.
When your opponent uses an upside-down rook for a second queen, and you think because the rook is upside-down it is yours.
When your pieces sacrifice themselves.
Your pieces commit suicide because they know they're all going to die anyway.

You set up your king and queen backwards and you think the white pieces turn into black ones.

- Endgames do not count.
- White has a mate in 2 after 1.g8 = R+ and 2.h8 = R#
wowow
yeah, don't understand why you'd play Qg1+....
When a GM feels so bad for you that he lets you win a game.

Actually, members of my club have plenty other reasons to laugh at me, so my chess gets a pass.

My friend told me that a couple years ago. I didn't believe him because it'd be stupid to trade a bishop, rook, knight, or even worse a queen, for a pawn.
(I never realized that this was a rule for checkers, though. Does that make me a bad checkers player?)
You flip a coin to decide which piece to move.
then you flip again to make sure!
