Ouch!
Now, you don't have to be stupid to be a really bad chess player. But it certainly does help.

Well, if someone is a bad chess player then what difference does it make that they are also a bad loser? At least it's consistent.
Back in 1960, I finally won against someone who thought he was a good chess player. He accused me of cheating (how that could have been, I don't have a clue...there were no cell phones back then and I never left the board).
He threw the board, with all the pieces on it, up in the air and he screamed at me: "You cheated!"
Good chess player but BAD loser. I should have kicked him in the shins or something. Except, he was about 30 years older than me and he was my boss.
The oldest trick in the book

Cute. I've actually seen it before, a few years ago.
Now, that is a wonderful excuse!
Don't be so modest. Give yourself credit. That is a humdinger good reason why you are a bad chess player.

Sounds like a challenge in the making. Can we watch? And you should know that bottles of ketchup can be tough!! I had to use a knife on one once.

I'm pretty sure stabbing your opponent is against FIDE rules.

You can make a half living off tournaments for being 2400 sometimes. It's not enough to support you, but another small thing like working at Mcdonalds or another cheap place might suppport you. Probably not, but maybe.

It's pretty difficult to stab your opponent during online chess also. I guess it wouldn't be "virtually" impossible though.
Good one.
They say you don't have the common sense to come on in out of the rain.
That's not entirely true.
When you are down at the park playing chess at at a picnic table, even if there is thunder and lightening...even if you can't even defeat a bottle of ketchup...you ain't no quitter.
And, you certainly ain't gonna come in out of the rain. No way, José!

How do you come up with these great stories?
I don't have a clue.
I just say, I can't now, I'm playing chess.
