Jesus vs Satan

What I don't quite get is why you think any of us should give a damn. I, for one, hear enough about them already, and not enough about beer baptismals, which is obviously what this thread was created for.

If you want to talk religion (and hostility):

i know i speak for everyone when i say, ivan is right.

Satan cant win ever because he isnt humble enough to admit that he can learn from others.  So if he cant learn anything how can he compete?  He's doomed!

i stand corrected.  THIS is the stupid-est thing i've ever read.

jesus would tell satan "these aren't the droids you're looking for"

I'm thinking Jesus would get nailed. He'd better cross himself before the game. And make sure he avoids skewers or hanging pieces, those can be a real thorn.

He'd at least pin his ears back.

are we talking about the white jesus or the real jesus?

Jesus! The only chessplayer who sacrificed more than Tal!

Staunton, Steinitz, Nimzowitch, Alekhine, Fischer, Kasparov........

If humility was a prerequisite for chess mastery, I doubt we would have heard of any of these names.

I'm a Satanist. Muhahaha xD

some of the worst posts in chess.com's history are in the thread.

yeah cuz it's real for sure.

Sorry, I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for such a game.

However, I did once hear of a tapestry which depicted much the game you describe. It showed the angelic white pieces dominnating the board. while the demonic black pieces, the few that remained, sat huddled in the corner, awaiting their final judgement.

This was supposed to represent the inevitable triumph of Good over Evil, I assume.

Of course, the story goes, Paul Morphy took a single look at this position, and proved that white's position was lost, despite the difference in material.

I <3 Satan. \m/

Did this "supposed" match happen at a tourney of some sort... and if so, who was there?

Why is Jesus gazing lovingly into Satan's eyes?

Obviously that one the junior league of... angles?  Thought the look was one of boredom (but what I know).

Those 13 by 7 chessboards are tough to play on.

have we wandered a bit? yes, a smidgen

like many a passenger pigeon

seems the posts have gone stupid

while Satan plays Cupid

(and flagsy's off gettin' religion)
