The Zombie Defense

I think the zombie opening in chess is where you just sit and stare at the board until your opponent faints.

Not a very effective opening during timed play though.

Woody Harrelson... :rotfl:

anyhow

Was it Capablanca that played an opponent with a cigar chomped in his mouth... his opponent protested loudly and vigorusly that smoking was not allowed.

"But Im not smoking it" Capa replied "But your threatining to smoke it" his opponent whined...

The game was over quickly with Capa's opponent evidently so flustered by the cigar blundered 4 or so moves into the game.

25% of chess is psychological warfare.

Uncyclopedia has a good article on (obviously fake) chess openings.

Man, are those TMZ photographers annoying. They're not even pretending to be polite!

I'm not old, famous or important, but I HATE it when people I don't know yell my first name at me. And these guys are downright condescending. Gawd I hate them.
