Lol I would play chess all day
If you were stranded on an island with a chess set...
Sort:
I certainly wouldn't be teaching the monkeys how to play chess. If one of them got better than me I'd have to go for a "too long to make it back" swim.
baddogno. True that, lol
Train the monkeys to gather wood,buid a raft,teach them chess so that they dont get bored and then get the hell out of the island.
Was it necessary to include the monkeys?
I'd sell the chess set and books to the monkeys and buy a phone with a prepaid SIM card. They are quite cheap nowadays.

The monkeys, being intelligent, would realise that I am the monkey cult leader and that their true, spiritual purpose on this earth is to rub me with coconut milk, bring me bananas and worship me as a monkey lord.
I am serious. I am not one of these at all:
Kill the monkeys, make a hat from their bones and flesh, dance around a fire naked, rip the books up for toilet paper, and cook the chessboard with a nice coconut sauce. I'd save the pieces for snacks.

I'm psychic!
In a thread about chess and psychics, I predicted Reflectivist would soon create another thread about chess and nonsense. I was right!
by the scenario posed, I'm already on that island, here at chess.com

I would make sure the monkeys did not read Planet of the Apes or see any of the movies based on it.

Play chess until I began to feel horny
I'd call for a taxi and play chess while waiting.
Perhaps I can teach the monkeys to play chess aginst each other. Whoever looses does the cooking. If I loose, however, we have monkey for supper. I will, when not eating, drinking, sleeping, or playing chess with the monkeys, study the chess books and try to get better. When I find a way to get back to dry land, I will roam the US, playing in all major tournaments, obliterating opponents with my Queen's Gambit. The monkeys will follow me around, hustling others in blitz games, winning me money for tournament fees. I donate the money I win to children's charities and keep only enough to sustain the lives of myself and my monkies.

I would encourage the monkeys to breed so I would have a source of food. But of course, I would only eat those that didn't give me a good game. Puts a different spin on a "sudden death" tournament.
hahahahahaha Oh Mark.....It certainly puts a different spin!!!! btw.....BBQ Monkey? ewwwwww
First of all, the monkeys wouldn't be intellegent enough to play chess. So I would try to play hide and go seek with them.

What about checkers? It's pretty much the same thing, right?
Oh, and can the intelligent monkeys crap gold bars? Not real gold bars. That'd be silly. You're on an island, for christs sake. I mean can the monkeys crap the chocolate ones? Probably not, huh? Freakin monkeys!
Burn it.
