Thanks for the post Jion_Wansu. I haven't seen your opening so I can't comment on that lol.
A new silly thread states that " Chess is sooo easy ". Well of course that is quite true however playing " Good " Chess is rather difficult ( at lest that is what people tell me ). 
I see that a thread is on the go now stating that " a GM title is Superior to a Phd ". So is a MLB Pitcher superior to a Heart Surgeon ? Is Tiger Woods superior to Bill Gates ? Apples are apples and oranges are oranges and never the twain shall meet !
Another title has shown up that could possibly fit into this " silly " Thread: " Timeouters are Traitors ". I mean really, 
we are only playing an online version of Chess ( perhaps playing for fun ??? ).
Well I see that we have a thread here now entitled " What is the total number of Squares on Chessboard ? " ( fits into a thread on silly stuff lol ).
Under the heading of silly things I see that the thread re: A chance for a 1300 player beating a 2700 player continues on and on ( can a mouse beat a cat ??? ).
Well I see that we have a thread here now entitled " What is the total number of Squares on Chessboard ? " ( fits into a thread on silly stuff lol ).
I thought math skills and chess skills were supposed to be highly correlated.

--- Thanks for the post Corrijean, that is a good point. I gather however that multiplication tables are no longer taught in Schools, that might explain the confusion lol.
It's The New Math!
The most frequently misunderstood rule I've come across is castling through check. Some players seem to think if the rook passes over a square attacked by the opponent (but not the king) then castling's not allowed
That would mean queenside castling when b1 is attacked
Thanks for the new posts.
Corrijean: maybe we need to restate the question for the new-math people. Someting like:
1y X 2y = z ( please find z ).
I found z, it is right after the equal sign!
Ivandh is a New Math genius.

Corrijean you are quite correct, Ivandh seems to be a whiz-kid at the new-math !
Well we have a new thread that must be mentioned here entitled " Does Chess Suck ??? ". Well I guess if a person is trying to make a living in the field of Chess and not having much luck perhaps ?

To try to make a living at chess would be like being a rockstar without the rock, I think.

Thanks for the new posts.
Corrijean: Yes I think that people who like to travel would enjoy that lifestyle but I guess the catch is that the Chessplayer in my example does need to be good enough to make a living at the game ( there is often a catch lol ).
And we have yet another item that fits into this silly thread. Someone has started a thread entitled " Chess Is Not a Sport, It Is a Hobby For Nerds ". Well it is a competition ( like Bridge or Poker ) but Chess is not going to be confused with the 100 yard dash or even pole vaulting ( etc ).
cabadenwurt do you mean my opening?
