Hey, Organic, do you slice your vegetables with a ninja's scimitar??

Actually. In ancient India. The Kings had elephants, camels, horses and soldiers. So the game comprises of 1) pawns or soldiers 2) knight or horse who can jump 3) bishop or camel & 4) rook or elephant

Dude, I often play chess 'against the devil' when I have no OTB people for opponents. If I were to play you OTB, I think I would be afraid to 'fork' your queen & rook, for fear of gettin' stabbed w/ your haylifter.

The silver tiara 'elevates' his chess game. (just kidding, camber)
Tiara?????

2. a high headdress worn by Persian kings in ancient times

Nice thread. Actually the first time I played chess was when I was 12 yrs old. There was a place in our locality where the people used to read newspapers. There a middle aged man used to bring some two to three chess boards and we used to start playing. We didn't even knew about castling back then (2000). I used to hear a lot of funny comments like "eat his horse. Or he'll kill your elephant." "He is laiding a trap for u" it was indeed very funny
Elephant?! Wonder which piece that'd be haha
