We all talk about prophets. But we never talk about what else they could have done besides being messengers of god. Chess is one thing I wonder how good these prophets would be at if they had played it? Any suggestions?
They would all be drawing masters. Why?
They would refrain from hurting your feelings and killing your king thus would avoid checkmating you in all facet of the game.... For peace cometh to those who seek it. ANd those who live by the sword..die by the sword. Thus...in chess...its a draw ...all the way.hehehehehe
Taking the question seriously for a moment:
Only one of the three is claimed to be God by a major religion. The other two are prophets. Muslims consider Jesus to be a prophet, and Muhammed the Seal of Prophets. But Muslims would make no special claim about Muhammed being perfect in everything. But of the three, only Jesus is considered to be God himself by a major religion.
So, with only one of the three being one in being with the Father in the Judeo-Christian-Muslim world, only one would be a perfect chess player (or perfect at anything else).
Still, this sounds like the beginning of a joke:
Moses, Jesus, and Muhammed went to a bar one day to play chess....

Agree! Although MOses would have kept him at bay, he'll be dividing the board into two. ;)
Mohammad would play a vicious game of chess and slaughter the opponent's pieces for no reason.
Mohhamed would murder all his oppisition
Well, Jewish players have disproportionately outplayed other peoples. Let's examine the players:
oses was probably an Egyptian. Much of the old testament was borrowed from other earlier cultures.
Jesus never existed.He was an anthropomorphism of the Sun , articulated by Constantine to govern the Roman Empire as it transitioned to the Catholic church.
Mohammad, I hear, may have been Jewish, so on that basis, the Islamic Prophet wins !

They'd never get around to playing any chess because Jesus would be too busy getting drunk on all that wine & freaking out & flipping over tables, Mohammed would be too busy looking for a 6 year old wife & trying to find more slaves to add to his collection, & poor old Moses would be lost in the dessert wondering around in fuggin circles like an idiot because he didn't have a sense of direction or a compass. But that's just a guess.
hey hey hey she is 6 and a half lol
Thanks..corrected...I was anticipating some sort of religious Jihad against me rather than a Scrabble challenge 
And this thread still continues! But if we keep talking about the incestuous, murderous, torturing, rapists, and pedaphiles of the "good book" then the thread may actually close...
While Catholic church once suggested to ban Asterix' comics because characters swore, get drunk and take drugs (magic potion) all the time (not kidding).
The Catholic church is gathering it's flock across the street from me right now, as the SUVs, pink-shirted dads and flower-patterned dresses of the soon to be brain-washed daughters make their way towards the tax-free home of the black-robed smiling man...
