Once, a friend of mine tricked me into accepting his draw offer in a game he was completely losing in because he said the endgame would be "boring".
I wasn't so experienced back then, but later a friend of mine told me that endgames are very important, and that I'd been swindled...

Aww, now I feel kind of bad for you 
You probably weren't into chess as much (since "wasn't so experienced back then" like you said, but still feel a bit bad for you.

Good thing that otb has stricter rules nowadays though, wasn't there the story of Karpov hiring a hypnotist and Korchnoi hiring murderers to do yoga during the 1978 World Championship?

Wow, Bobby Fischer was p crazy for sure, but it's funny to see how intimidated those other chess players were in the first vid. Just makes me think -- wouldn't it be better if Stockfish became sentient so none of us would be intimidated by any humans anymore?

All right, I'll make this the actual last Yasser story for this thread only because the first two were Fischer and I'll give one from someone else:

Chess is so fun but after 2 years of trying hard I have achieved nothing
Good one
But you where smart. She said she wouldn’t move her knights so you ate the pawn.
She said that I was a lot stronger than she thought I was. Why she lie like that?
So I played against this bot called Coach Mae...And she said this:
Translation: "I PROMISE you that my next turm won't be a knight turn."
I thought: "Well, then..."
And this happened:

COACH MAE IS A LIAR!
