I am a bowling coach and I set up a chess board and anyone can play me while bowling in a league.
A move must be made before the next ball is rolled.
The connection with bowling and Chess.
Bobby Fischer used to bowl as a mode or relaxing and exercise for the body. Of course the mental game is prevelant in Bowling the higher you get in bowling skill.
Check out Fischer form and angle here.
He is rolling the ball at the ten pin on the right corner.

Keeping score in bowling is very easy:

XXX XXX XXX XXX = 300 game!

bowling is easier than chess. I have perfect games with bowling and am not sure all my chess games are perfect. Tongue Out

Avatar of GhostNight

Come on ponz! You never bowled a perfect game in real bowing, you are talking about wii wii bowing in front  of tv! I have  bowled more higher games then you, 280, highest, many 246 + games, I usually have a least one 200 + games per three in ABC league bowlingWink And my highest average was only 174, usually more like 160. Funny but my USCF was 1500 - 1600, same as my bowling, good, but not good enough. You got me way beat in your chess ability, but it all comes down are you having fun doing what ever? 

Avatar of ponz111

You are correct I have only bowled perfect games in Wii bowling but did bowl more than 330 of those and that is a minor achievement.Smile

In your kind of bowling my highest game was 230 something. Undecided

I had fun in both kinds of bowling and also in various kinds of chess.

They are related, as neither pursuit has an "A" in their name.

I'd be interested in any evidence you might have in support of this assertion.  (Remember Woody Harrelson in "Kingpin?"  I rest my case.)
