would u allow ur girlfriend to checkmate u in chess?

Only if she allows me to penetrate her 7th rank with my rook.

Yes, if it led to a positional advantage.

Spassky was once asked, given his playboy reputation, whether he preferred chess or sex. "It depends on the position" he replied.

Of course I would allow her to checkmate me. Actually, we accept much worst and trouble things from our girls (girlfriend / fiancée / wife), so what is a simple checkmate? ;) hehehe

If you allow her to checkmate you, she better have earned it. 

If she earned it, I don't have to allow... But c'mon, what have you done already, in the name of love? 

Depends how cute she is :)

Oh I didn't mean through chess ;d

Hum, ok. In this case, I do agree!

Love this post, haha.  Read a story once about a guy who complained that his opponent's shirt was too low cut. 

Well, who wants to look at someone's hairy chest?

This suggests the related question: If she checkmated you unallowed, would she still be your significant other?

What's worse is if your girlfriend has the hairy chest

Penny: So, if I move my horsey here, isn’t that checkmate and I win?

Leonard: Hmm.

Penny: Well, is it or isn’t it?

Leonard: You know, I think this is a good stopping point. Uh, it’s your first real game. I threw a lot of information at you.

Penny: Well, no, I mean, your king is trapped. He can’t go here because of my lighthouse, and he can’t go here because of my pointy-head guy.

Leonard: Like I said, complicated game.

Penny: So did I win or not?

Leonard: Did you have fun? Because if you had fun, then you are, you are a winner. Now that’s, that-that’s what chess is all about.

Case closed

JamieDelarosa and FM nobodyreally posts: hahaha! 

Leonard missed a checkmate in one. He must be a real good player...

 We all know that if chess is used in TV-series, movies, paintings etc. 99% of the time the games and positions they use, are purely random.

Years ago, just for fun, I kept score for a number of years to see how often the board would be placed the wrong way (i.e. did they put the white square at the  bottom right). Much to my surprise in about 85% of the cases they had it wrong. But that's for another discussion.

What caught my eye for now, if you look at the position closely.

It's a legal position!!!

Albeit completely ridiculous (2 black black squared bishops, a white bishop on g4 which had to have come from a minor promotion seeing that the pawns on e2 and g2 never moved), at least they got the checkmate right.

The horsey on c7, lighthouse on b1 and pointy-head guy on d4 actually deliver mate.

And as far as Leonard's playing strength goes. He is a queen, 2 knights and a pawn down...

All in all, a very disappointing performance from the makers of a TV-series which is supposed to portray a bunch of "highly intelligent people".

Bump

felt good to checkmate her

depends what the reward is.....
