Ha ha!
In what ways is chess not like life?
Sort:
No, I caught her in passing the other e-pawn.
Chess requires deep thought.
Too much thinking in life
A migraine will ensue.
(Or should it be the other way around)?

Love applies in post mortem, analysis, teaching activities - when you want the other player to grow.
During the game it applies in one's own camp only - the white pieces love each other and love the squares they control.

I'll be the judge on this after investing a few minutes on reading the thread.
Fun points:
Fkey: 14
Kaynight: about -8.
Personal attack points:
Fkey: 10. Returned the blows well.
Kaynight: -5 for being lame.
I have heard of a horse going lame, sometimes having to be shot Likewise a lame knight will struggle mightily in battle... might even fall to a pawn.

I heard of cases where a lame horse is killed out of mercy. But not in these forums of course.

In real life the woman (queen) doesn't give a damn about what the man (king) says. In chess she has to defend him for saving the marriage (game).
Actually the queen does listen... it's the pig - headed king that runs around trying to get mated.
Mated at a distance or mated up close and personal by a pawn might make a difference to a King. Depends on his disposition and upbringing I suppose. But you are right.. most really don't give a hoot.
There seems to be battle in conversation forums. Communication is a big part of life. Who argue best, he/she makes chessmate and win the competition. This is a big similarity between life and chess (this is just for those who denies all the similarities between chess and life).
Then what is a difference: sex. Or is it sex in chess? In life it should be.
Never had a useless companion that I could swap for the most powerful ally available.
Well. If life is like chess, where does love apply? Arent the pawns, just merely pawns.
I fell for my f-pawn once, until I found out that she was cheating on me.
