The King of Chess Comedy

A few days ago I linked to a new blogger, chessloser, with the remark

that "Chess is supposed to be fun, right?"

Well, chessloser is rapidly rising to the top of the chess blogosphere

in terms of laugh value per post! Here are a few recent samples:

i'm just like tal, only i lose:

the only difference, really, between him and me is, he knew what he

was doing, he calculated and analized and had a plan, and he won the

majority of his games, where as i have the wreckless sacrificing down

pat, the bravado, but i don't back any of it up with sound play or a

halfway decent plan, i often fail to see the consequences of my moves,

and then i lose miserably. but, every once in a while, i catch someone

on a bad day, and it works out for me, like in this game here.

(...)

in move 10, i take that damned horse, because he pisses me off, and i

want to attack the castle but he gets in the way, so i am a bishop

down but in my bizarro world, i now have the advantage...

Also, the hottest chess photo ever (don't worry, not pornographic), is

available at the bottom of the post.

holy freakin' crap:

the second game, when i was white, i had sacrificed my pieces like

some crazy aztec high priest trying to appease the gods, i was down to

a queen and a rook, he had a queen, a rook, and both horses. i did

have more pawns, so if i made it to an endgame, i'd be in good shape.

i made a final sac of my rook, which he took with his horse, which i

wanted. the horse was guarding a square i needed, and he didn't even

know it. that square let me skewer his king and take his queen. all i

had was a queen, he had both horses and a rook, and from there, it was

a series of forks as i took out piece by piece, like a sniper.

WARNING: If an occasional obscenity or profanity offends you, don't go

over there. If Don Imus offends you, don't go over there. Otherwise,

for a unique chess blog experience, DO go over there.
