sorry continued...... I think I must have played you. Do you also say like: "Guard your Queen" when you attack the queen or "Rook ee dooo!" when you castle?
Someone asks you : Do you know how to play chess ?

"Yes. In fact it's what I do instead of having a life."
Yes, I love Chessmaster 4000 Turbo and I miss it dreadfully.

I don't say that, it sounds childish. But I do talk a lot of trash when playing for fun...

I heard a story about a guy who used to sit around in the park somewhere with a sign "chess lessons $10", if you beat him it was free.....he was a scammer of course because if you were not that good he would make the game close, so you kept trying....if you were a little better, then he played better, and so on.....
And that is one way to learn , if you have a lot of $10s. If you like stuff like that check out a guy named Jude Acres who played all comers in New Orleans for years.
Jude ACERS. Spell his Goddamn name right. As far as the OP's question, I know how the pieces move. I know that the horse thingie can jump over things, and I know what en passant is. Do I know how to play chess? Look at my rating and my game archive and decide for yourself.

Nilocra_the_White has just posted an invisible comment that I cannot see. I have noticed this recently on chess.com, where I have just started a blitz game and SOME OF MY PIECES HAVE NOT APPEARED ON THE BOARD YET! It's like I'm about to play someone while missing a few troops, and then they appear a second or two later, but it still left me wondering what I could do to beat this dog without several pieces. It's all I can do to beat people with all my pieces present.
I get them to drag it out of me, then I humbly admit I'm in the top 3% of rated players at chess.com and play for my national team there.
I don't tell them that at chesstempo, where only ACTIVE players are considering, I'm barely in the top 20% of tactics ratings.
Before joining this site I thought I was really good at chess. Now I know otherwise.

Sorry about the spelling of Acers. If you look on line you will find others that did not spell it right either. I think this is because he pronounces it Acres like in an acre of land and I got the spelling wrong. I must admit I also don't use the thingie spelling but use the thingy spelling also, so I probably need to work on my posts more. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. PS Don't know why the post was invisible. Could be my computer skills are as bad as my spelling skills.
I would say I only know how to move the pieces and challenge them to play a game with me

Beat him and ask him the same question
It's an open question so there is no need to complicate things. My answer is simple and straightforward:
yes. That's it.

Yes, my friend. I know how to play chess. Should I teach you?
Wow very agressive if you say it like that, you sending pretty much a dare or a challenge ! Some players might be an FM or even an IM , they will have some pride in them and they might respond to you saying : you want to teach me little boy? Put sone money where your mouth is , let's have a game and see who can teach who.
Be careful, especially in Russia saying staff like that without knowing somebody.
Ой вэй, русских бояться - в настольные игры не играть! אױ װײ if you are afraid of Russians you shouldn't play board games at all!
