Dude, that position in no way resembles a penguin.  You ought to hang your head in shame.

I was just kidding, you don't need to delete a h-file rook lift.  Just you know, add a picture.  We all love pictures here.

 Nigel Short must be on the list for his silly bragging about sleeping with another chess player's girlfriend. And if I recall the story correctly, Short said this in a eulogy-type article after the player had died.

Korchnoi getting all pissed off at Susan Polgar, because she beat himLaughing

Kasparov's reaction after losing to Deep Blue! Pretty silly stuffLaughing

Avatar of trysts

Fischer for numerous moments of silliness. My favorite being refusing to play Judith Polgar when he was staying with the familyLaughing

Avatar of trysts

Ivanchuk very unique and silly way to refuse an equally silly drug testLaughing

Avatar of trysts

Nigel Short again, for crying about another chess player refusing to shake his hand before a game. Too sillyLaughing

Oll, y'all.

Just for being all Oll.

Korchnoi's yogurt complaint, and his playing chess with dead people, may put him in the running for silliest ever!Laughing

Fischer again, for his silly crying about grandmaster draws being a Soviet conspiracy against him! I actually believed this one when I was told about it, that is, until I started paying attention to chess tournaments.

The two chess players involved in the recent Largest Simul Record. I believe one was from Israel and the other from Iran, and they had both had opponents in the simuls who didn't even know how to play chess! Pretty sillyLaughing
