Lol. Wrong king my friend. But I have seen someone try that. But never tried to say it was a one move checkmate.
"What version of checkers is that?"
The smart person kind.
lol
But, are you trying to earn brownie points with Dragon by any chance with that new avatar?
I...no. I changed this cause I got tired of the same avatar. So I am now an air wolf/dragon.
But ya, let's go with that. Brownie points.

When I was younger I'd just click through images on Google of dragons... images and images of dragons... xD I'd even print out my favorites ones and tape them up on the wall. heh.....
And I baked some brownies from a brownie mix the other day but I undercooked them. It was quite literally wet sludge. I need to try that again. The RIGHT way. Ahhhhhhh!
Anyone seen Mad Max? Freaky movie. Good, with a meaningful message, but so creepy af.
And got my plane ticket for the Las Vegas chess festival mid-June. Yeeeeeeeeeeay!

Las Vegas?
What is everyone doing over the summer?
900K...let's go for 1000K views. LOL.
I just won a game against a near 1700 player! He won round 1, though.
I have had this avatar for many months..perhaps it is time I change it. When I get around to it.
Hmmm...bumped to next page. I hate that...
5. [Makes a simple move]-->"Hmm cheating, eh?" 
5a. [First I realize that the chess program on a cheap iPhone app is completely flawed (allows pieces to move into check and even get captured!) Next, I bring it to the attention of the person I'm playing (non-chess player) and get the previous response. ]
4. "So where is my horse again?"
3. [Attempts to take my pawn by jumping over it and after saying that it was an illegal move, I get the following response.] "But I thouht it was like checkers!"
2. [Applies to any situation where you have a game with a board with alternating colors. Even when it is a 10 by 10 board with different colors that a normal board and completely different organization.]-->"Is that chess?"
1. "I can play chest [chess] it's just like checkers [some instead say draughts)]. All you have to do it move the horsies, towers [they mean rooks] and ponds [pawns]."
Check out some cool board game stuff I found:

Hey, is that checkers? Why are the pieces so weirdly shaped? Oh, and the PC's are setup incorrectly. Oh, it's chess! So, how do those horsy-things move?

Welcome to the dragonair hall of fame camber!
In relevance to my last comment:
"Did you know there's a checkmate in 5 moves?" meaning Scholar's Mate.
