Ways To Cheat At Chess - Just for Fun, Relax




"You could go against the Sicilian when death is on the line, definately a morgue toe tag game."
Haha, Princess Bride, eh?
And keeping with Faye Dunaway's stratagem, there are two options that can be drawn from a true incident. Wherein, one player insisted he was unable to concentrate in the game due to his female opponent's choice of undergarments.
Princess bride! ah good stuff, i love that scene. Good example of game theory.


2. Whip out the Magic the Gathering card called 'Armaggedon' and play it, thus wiping all pieces from the board, ending in a draw.
3. Cast permanent sanctuary on your King and then timestop on your opponent's King. Then each turn, proceed to your opponent's King and capture it with your own.
4. Do the unthinkable: Urinate on your opponent's pieces. Then resume play. "Desperate times call for desperate measures!"
5. Convince your opponent that you can play blind. Then place a blindfold over your eyes and ask the opponent to move your pieces for you. Then pick an easy piece to remember, and tell the opponent to move it to the square occupied by his/her King. If they accuse you of committing an illegal move, accuse them back for rigging the board and taking advantage of a player playing blind.
6. Play on a thin board on a thin tabletop with magnetic pieces. Then move pieces that the opponent is not paying attention to whenever an opportunity arises. Ensure that the pieces you move provide you with positional advantage. If the opponent questions an altered position, respond claiming that he or she was watching the board the entire game, which makes that happening highly unlikely.
7. Insist that you play on a shot-glass or alcohol-driven chessboard. Then kindly offer to set up the board with the drinks, ensuring that little to no alcohol goes into your opponents pieces, and then add extra to your own. Then take advantage of the game later as your opponent becomes more and more drunk, while having a friend videotape it for future reference (or when he/she is sober).
8. For girls: Stuff the opposing pieces in your private areas prior to the match (or make it seem as close to the real thing as possible). Then slowly reveal this feat if you feel you are losing.
9. For guys: Fart really heavily on the chessboard. Then resume play.
10. For kids: Pick your nose and don't wipe your hands whenever you move your own pieces. The opponent will feel less inclined to make captures.
