"You're really good at chess? You must be good at checkers to, since they use the same board and all right?"
This quote drives me crazy
Stuff Non-Chess Players Say
Sort:
Whenever my eight year old sister can't move her king she says "haha it's a draw!" Then I explain that if it worked like that it would be a draw instantly anyway. Then she moves another piece. Although to be fair, she does play chess better than a lot of adults.

it's eassy to checkmate in 4 moves, did you know that you can do it in 3 moves?
You can checkmate in 3 moves? Is that the minimum? The minimum is in 2 moves. Send me a mail if you still didnt figure how to do it.
When someone praises me and says, "This boy can beat you in one move!!!".
LOL

When you ask someone what he knows about chess and he says "The goal of chess is to eat all your opponents pieces".
"I love my life."

It's my pet peeve when an adult says "eat" instead of capture. If it's a kid saying it then it's not as much of a nuisance.
No, you don't eat chess pieces. You eat food.

When someone doesnt let you capture en passant because he says its illegal. But you show him in internet that that rule exists, but then he says that you still cant do it because he didnt know it before, so it would be unfair. 
Wait, the Sicilian's a pizza, ain't it?

I played someone the other day who said "oh shoot" every time they were in check. And that was quite frequently. :P
my sister told that her classmate said
chess does not need brain
pokemon does 
I'm going to slightly off-topic here and give you my favorite dumb quote from a chess player. He was B-class and once said this in all seriousness: "I have a grandmaster's understanding of the game once the moves are explained to me."
Yes, then we're all Bobby Fischer. And world-class magicians once we are shown how to do the trick. I still laugh at the obtuseness of that quote. I believe he now has a position in the Trump Administration.
