why do farmers dry out their corn fields?
Sort:
Below is the game I played against the "orange" farmer today.
It was at the National Apple festival in biglersville, PA.
I did *ask* him why farmers dry out their corn fields. but he said he did not know. He *claimed* to be an "apple" farmer.

You wrote the moves down while playing an orange farmer at an apple festival? Must have been a really informal game! Were his wives and daughters watching?

we didn't use a clock. just a chess set. i wrote the moves down by playing.
i didn't see his wife or daughter around.
Dang, I wish I was an apple "farmer" in biglerville then, ヅ
My neighbor gave me the biggest juiciest couple of peaches I have ever had from Penn, back in august.
The only reason I know for drying corn fields, like said earlier, is maturing popcorn or seed. Popcorn is a different type of corn seed?
tubebender eagerly inquired:
what the Hell does this have to do with Chess?
I already explained. The pawn ending exercise is known as "Farmer's Chess." Pawn Endings are essential to the evaluation of every position. You must always ask "What if all the pieces were exchanged off and this pawn skeleton were the structure of a Pawn Ending?"
Pawn Endings are extremely difficult to play. They resemble a shootout in the pitch black darkness.
The "farmer" concept indicates that the king is a farmer and the pawns are his daughters seeking to become queens.
This exercise was popularized in the Ukraine which is the breadbasket of the former Soviet Union.

Nothing. :) That's why it's in Off-Topic instead of Game Showcase.

This is really ridiculous. I like being single and doing every female I can get drunk.

tubebender told us the meaning of his handle:
By the way "tubebender" refers to my occupation as a machinist who dealt with the fabrication of airplane safety equipment which involved the bending of aluminum tubing to exacting dimensions to +/- .003 inches, not to penile dysfunction. So think of me the next time you get on a plane: my work potentially could save your life. My work also involved the fabrication of stainless steel parts for the food industry in addition to rectangular metal tubebending for communication parts for the aerospace industry involving satallites. So think of me when you eat and use your cell phone and GPS unit.

This topic is relevant to chess. we have been sharing our experiences with playing chess with farmers. Farmers are important people in our society and the world population. Their efforts provide food and corn to others. Farmers chess is a variant of chess where there is a king and a whole bunch of pawns (livestock) on the board.
everyone else on the forums just talk about the what if's about Fischer (who cares, he is dead). What if Fischer did this in 1972....what if Fischer was alive, could he still use the bathroom.....blah, blah, blah.
we're talking about the present, the reality, the now.
farmers and chess.
Lets get on with our chess game

Plastic bendy straw. There is a hefty chortle in there somewhere.
I was more a fabricator than a master precision machinist so I stayed away from the vino.
So whad do I mean. Ok. As a fabricator you experiment more. Say you are with a lil giraffe, you go hmmm lets see what happens if we try to wear these feet like ear muffs. All fine thrust far. The danger lies in mixing in the vino. You lose the precision, you schlip, then you schlam into the muscular upper femoral area.
Next thing ya knowwwwww, you're the fourth member of the fantastic four.
