Chess Jokes anyone?
Was it or was it not that great chess player René Descartes who observed:
Ludero ergo sum {"I play [chess] therefore I exist"}
to which Galileo allegedly retorted: "You're putting DesCartes before DesHorse! Get a life!"
Two chess players were in the middle of a game at the local tournament when a funeral procession passes by.One player crosses himself.Seeing this the other player says"mate i didn,t know you was religious".The first player replies"mate it's the least i can do after all i was married to her for twentyfive years.
Also from the link provided:
Three retired International chess grandmasters were playing chess in the park.
The first grandmaster said, "it is windy today."
The second grandmaster said, "no, it is Thursday today".
The third grandmaster said, "me too, let's go back inside for a drink"
Ha! "It's thursday today." Now that is chess thinking!
I'm proud that I understood this one.

Two people are playing chess. One asks is friend to go get some chips. A little bit later, the friend returns and says "Stale, mate."
"What?" says the player. "How?"
the friend replied, "I meant the chips!"
"So I was having dinner with Garry Kasporov - Problem was, we had a checkered tablecloth and it took him two hours to pass the salt!"

Two people are playing chess. The phone rings and one guy answers it. His friend is on the other end.
The friend, in trouble from the other player's two rooks, decides to have some fun with him, the player says, "I'm watching the two towers."
The friend replies, "Oh, you're watching Lord of the Rings?"
I found an anti-chess thing on the net.
- Chess is irrelevant to our society because it was created by dead white guys.
- Chess encourages racism by having a 'war' between a white army and a black army.
- Chess reinforces current racist tendencies in our society by always having the white army move first.
- Chess glorifies war.
- Chess oppressively reinforces heterosexual stereotypes. It does this by forcing each army to have a king and a queen and by not allowing the game to be played with either two kings or two queens.
- Chess is guilty of breaking the separation of church and state by allowing a bishop to be a belligerent in war.
- Chess destroys self-esteem. When children play the game, one always loses. Losing causes a child to feel dumb and inadequate.
Seriously bad by necessity.
