MOAR JOKES PL0X!!!

A sign saying you're a bad chess player:

Your opponent says "check" and you say "What? I dont owe you anything!"

You make your first move and your chess engine says, 'Mate is imminent'.

You make your second move. Your dog runs to cower in the corner, screeching.

You make your third move. Your oven explodes.

You make your fourth move. The local community hold cloth over their faces, paint a red cross on your door and brick up all your possible exit routes.

You don't get to make a fifth move as your opponent has mated you in four. Your house is now an inferno and all your exit routes have been blocked.

A dark figure with a scythe appears from the smoke and beckons you to an area strangely untouched by the roaring flames. He shows you his business card which reads 'Mr. G. Reaper, Underworld Ambassador'. You're not too pleased when he explains that he's come to take you to the other side but he does propose a way to avoid this fate.

Delighted by Mr. Reaper's offer, you both sit down for a nice game of chess. Somewhere in the ether you hear Satan himself keeled over with laughter.

Can I agree? I like that.

Signs that you are a bad player if you insists this checkmate position is illegal.

You take your opponent's piece and there's a heating bill attached to it.

That was nice checkmate!

Here's one that really happened to me, not made up.

I was analysing an OTB game I had played with Fritz. The computer looked at the position for a couple of seconds, then played a move which I had considered but decided against, and announced mate in 25.

Signs you are a bad chess player:

• You like to compare chess to war, American football, and bingo.

• You notice if the number assigned to your chess forum post is interesting.

• You make up your own pronunciations of the last names of chess legends.
