You did music ffs, did you have to play 'My Girl' to pass. Just because you pissed off to a London hovel doesn't mean folk who remained here eat out dustbins and gnaw on bones. Some of the thickest fuckers ever were from London. They usually end up getting stabbed at the Notting Hill Carnival - Darwinism in effect. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I learned something the other day. My s-i-l (not as much as she used to) and her chap were at Cambridge. Apparently, after graduation, so long as they keep their nose clean after graduation, they get awarded an MA after 12 months. What a bag o wank that is. Chess is more honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted February 23, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2022 Chess is like squash Great to play against someone who is on the same level as you But if they are better / more experienced you may as well bend over and let them stick their rook up your arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He virtually bullied her into continuous games when she was a teenager and then one day the penny dropped and she beat him. I was well behind when we first met but I wouldn't let her have the bragging rights so stuck at it until I beat her and now we are as you say, pretty equal.

Used to be on display in a cabinet when I was a kid. White and red and all carved like Manchurian soldiers with swords and horses, etc. Might be ivory. Think they date from the early 1900s. Would love to have a game with them but no fucking way am I playing Mrs Manc. Her uncle taught her and he was some high level player. No way am I giving her an excuse to ram summat up my arse. Fucker wouldn’t stop at the rook either the mentalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I sometimes think about taking it up but it feels like it'd take a huge amount of time and effort just to get to the level where I'd not be shite at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Like golf and lots of other games. The basics and simple. Mastering it is something else. Like other games, if you enjoy playing for the sake of playing, good. That’s how all games should be. Win or lose. Thats not how it goes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted February 23, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2022 Play chess quote often. Quite an aggressive player. Used to enjoy playing against the kids at work, as they got quite competitive.. Take out their bishops first as I struggle to track them. I'll also happily sacrifice my queen for theirs. There's an app "chess.com" I think which is pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a mate who went to Woodside School and was very rebellious as a youth who was fabulous at chess, which he learned doing time. I never saw him get beat.

Chess isn't Connect 4, Guess Who? or nicking money on the sly during a game of Monopoly. A game of Chess can be done and dusted in five minutes.

Its mainly because we don't have the kids all the time so I do like to carve out some time over the weekend to do something together. Last week - candle making! Made the house smell of soap.

A good mate of mine plays a very high standard I played him once but I just can not concentrate on all the pieces all the time. I do follow a you tube channel that is interesting if you like chess.
