I'm working on a project, and I would be very grateful of any help the people of this site could offer. I am trying to gather a collection of amusing opening moves in games. To clarify I do not mean openings but funny of even simply intriguing things that chess players might run into, during the first 10 moves or so, as they are learning the game. Things like the scholars mate, or fools mate or say, 1e4.e5 2d4,Nc6 3d5,Nd4 4c3 Little things like that, traps and blunders you make while improving and smile when you see an opponent making because it brings back memories as well as gives you a chance to pay forward the humiliation you received when you made the same mistake.
I will let you know, a friend and I are gathering them so we can put together a collection of comedic poetry based on chess, that is the primary intent of the search.
