Surprised @balbec folded so quickly.
I played chess when I was a chap; Iād a lovely green and white wooden chess box and pieces. Watching The Queenās Gambit brought a yearning to whip it out again. Then I remembered there are about 100 things Iād like to do with my spare time ahead of playing chess, and about 500 other things I donāt want to do, but should be doing, and I havenāt thought about chess since.
Chess used to be very popular when I was at school. I had a reasonable claim at being the second best playerā¦we had no idea there were such things as openings etc. I unsuccessfully played the best player a couple of times a week for the best part of a year. I finally had the fucker out-moved, out-thought and out-mannedā¦then the other lad who had a reasonable claim on the second best title flicked the board in the air, and that was that. We all knew where the pieces where etc but the champ claimed otherwise.
The sense of injustice, rage and frustration stays with me to this dayā¦ overshadowing even the county and ulster senior club championship medals Iād won a couple of years earlier
I was on the chess team in Gonzaga. I would walk all over ye cunts.
Iāve won five in a row now. Last two lads resigned.
Intersterller (i know not on netfix) is the greatest movie with your kids of all time
I suppose the interjections of āyour move cnutā helped them concede.
You must be eating those tranquilizers like smarties

You need a bigger ceiling
Those city of London interbank competitions are the most ultra-competitive circle jerks outside the Leinster schools senior cup. Type A.
Ah lovely.
Iām perturbed that you actually typed all that out though.
Watching Cobra Kai, which is currently finally addressing the running sore that the karate kid was a cunt.
He was a jerk.
Heās more likeable in cobra Kai.
Whatās the difference.
I accidentally check Mated a Yank last night on chess.com and went to bed sated.
Itās like a less physical jiu jitsu but just as exhausting.
Its just a cleaner, better organised site imo.
Get a room lads. This is the Netflix thread.
it needed saying in fairness
