All you have to say is that cats can hardly even move pieces on the board. there is a monkey who can play chess, not well at all but I think he knows how to move and the basic rules.
boys are better at chess than cats
Sort:
Personally, I believe most cats don't play chess because they feel intimidated. It is a fact that for most of chess' long history, the players have been predominantly human. This can lead to the assumption that this is a human's game. I feel that the chess community as a whole needs to openly welcome feline players. Perhaps this could be accomplished by offering potential feline players a shiny red light.
My cat's not that good at all -- I beat him two times out of three.

'I think it's important, though, to recognize those things that cats are better at than boys. Like unrolling a roll of toilet paper or shredding the sofa.'
Also others to include such as changing the toilet paper when the roll is empty, putting down the toilet seat (an annoying trait), cleaning the sofa, finding things in cupboards, preparing a packed lunch... etc. The op is wrong cats are better than boys both at chess and other thingymebobs.

I love that Fischer game.
If I remember good, he played that game with age of 12-13!
Yep, he was 13.

we also have to ask ourselves "why are there less cats than boys playing chess"
is it because they are discouraged from pursuing chess?a taboo?
Because properly prepared, cats are delicious.
(Urban legend, may not be true)
I've heard of a case in a local league game where the away team turned up a player short, but the home team couldn't claim the default point because they were also a player short. But one of the players had brought his dog with him, so they put the dog on bottom board and claimed the default point.

We are discussing a new secret opening that will change the world of chess forever. It was invented by a cat.
GM Cats says, "All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction. a8=N#."
I have nothing amusing to add. I just wanted to be a part of this thread.
oookkk....cats can play chess?
my cat is really moody. that's a good sign i think. she'd fit right in in the chess world.
