My mate, watching over my shoulder (genuinely) asked: Why don't you take his King with yours...lol
Stuff Non-Chess Players Say

"My 6-year-old granddaughter just started learning chess. Can you play with her, like a game a day? She wants to be a grandmaster like you."
What's stupid about this? The child is ambitious; are you too lazy to educate her? My 7yo god_daughter plays me all the time and keeps getting better...beats her dad now...

God does not exist.
Did He tell you that?
Nope, because I have never met him, and I've never met him because he doesn't exist.
Prove God doesn't exist.

Prove? You can't prove anything. You can't even prove that this is chess.com! By the way: I believe in God.

I'll pray for you ... you may not believe in God, but God believes in you.

I know how the pieces move!
(Usually said by some 8 year old kid. Right before you play him, and find out he out-rates you by 700 points.)

Once, I was playing a live chess game, and my non-chess playing sister was being really loud.
So I said to her, "Can you be a little more quiet. I'm trying to calculate something?"
She replied, " How do you calculate a chess move?"
Come to think of it, that;s a good question. Do you mutliply them together, or what?

So.... What else does God say to you?
Do others in your family hear these voices. Or are you the only one?

I believe in God as well, but my point was that you cannot prove that God is nonexistant.

"The pawns are the King and Queen's kids?"
My son says this and it's really cute, but he's only 3 years old. It's also cute when we "play chess" and he moves one pawn out to the center of the board, then I'll move one out too, and then he does this dialogue like the two pawns are talking to each other. "Hi, how are you? Do you want to come to my house and play?"

If the white pony and the black pony mate, do you get a zebra?
Haha that's a new one. Love it!!

What's with all the hate? Chess is an exciting game and while you may not be expending brain power solving the mysteries of quantum physics it is certainly not as vacuous as these quotations seem to suggest.
I think they're pointing out the fact that some people see chess as a waste of time. They're not saying that themselves, as the forum name implies. Just a guess cause I was a little confused as to what you're referring to.

Or one I heard recently."You mean Chess masters realy spend hours playing a single game? How is that possible?? Wouldn't they just know what to do?'
Must admit, I didn't know quite how to answer that one.

How about something like, there are so many possibilities in a chess game, just 200 in the first move, and only a few are actually good moves, so they take a long time trying to figure out which move is best.

Prove God doesn't exist.
For a counterargument: prove that god exists.
Have you ever seen a faster attempt to close a thread ?
