And now it's time for another round of Chess, True or False, the award winning internet game show filmed in lovely downtown Chess.com Discussion Forum.

Ok contestants...

True or False: Sometimes, some chess pieces can sit still for an entire game and never move from their original position.

False. I always bump into the board while I'm drinking.

It's only true if the pieces are not toddlers (they never sit still)...


I usually play "infant chess" even though my opponent doesn'tTongue out

False. In the time it takes to complete a blitz game you've traveled 500 billion miles.

This is a site of chessplayers.  Chess isn't our acquaintance we forget to send a Christmas card, it's like a relative who lives in our house... these questions are more like something you'd as a 2nd grader who can't remember how the "horsey" moves.

 Is that a "true" or a "false" ?

This stupid. Why can't I just say Reykjavik, Iceland, instead of dealing with your true/false stuff?

Now I have to go to the doctor to have my palm surgically removed from my face.

 Oh. So close. The judges were looking for Reykjavik, Iceland. The 1972 Chess Championship match was played in the capital city of that North Atlantic island nation, which is also where Fischer saught refuge after leaving Japan. He is also buried there. His corpse was exhumed for DNA testing and then re-buried.

I know a good doctor who can do those. I was pretty much living on his operating table during all that windows drama in the forums!
