You might be a chess player if...

.......if you vacuum the green felt of the bases of the Chess Pieces

HAHAHAHA that one was the best! xD

On a plane I once saw this movie about chess that was about some female South African chess player. One time a scene went to a position she was playing for less than a second and I immediately said "whoah, that's not good. White has a smothered mate in five." I guess that kind of ruined the next 30 seconds for me where you were supposed to be impressed and surprised by the protagonist's queen sacrifice.

The climax of the movie was really weird and made no sense. The audience cheered after she promoted a pawn in a position where she was already up two rooks and her opponent's king was in the middle of the board about to get checkmated. It was almost like an "it's time to resign" pawn promotion rather than a "now I win" promotion but everyone was hold their breath wondering who was winning.

You might be a chess player if....You find yourself discussing a movie about chess on a chess forum. lol

     You might be a chess player if...you're broke because you spent too much money on chess DVD's and books.

     You might be a chess player if...you stayed up till 4 a.m. playing blitz and trying to get your rating back to 1600, but the best you did was get to 1599!

lol...tired?

...you played a game that lasted 6 hours

You see King Tupou the 6th and worry about his safety.....

.....you have a custom vanity license plate that reads "D4 Nf6"

...you don't call a rook a castle...you don't call a knight a horse...you don't call a bishop a pointy thing...you don't call a queen a spiky thing.

... you remember ratings of players but not names.

Guilty

You might be a chess player if....youve ever argued with a person on a chess forum...

...you have ever been called a nerd.

I do that all the time! Am I one?
