We're russians, vodak and handguns involved?

Not the worst chess story I've ever heard then.

Joseph Wilson Groom was drinking beer and playing chess

Is there nothing beer can't do?

He gets his swords above the waistline sunshine!

I'm surprised the guy fell for it. The "stabby thing" attack has been totally refuted.
 
2009-02-05 03:20:25 PM
Touché.

Very shoddy reporting. Were they chicken? Pork? Veggie?

Also, beer and chess is an excellent combination. Helps you think out of the box.

With forks?

The "stab em in the gut" gambit is quite popular in the Bay Area. They usually don't use swords.
 
2009-02-05 04:43:13 PM
Was probably an argument over En passant. But in areas of dispute over chess etiquette, it's always been the custom to let the guy with the sword win.

But what KIND of quesadillas were they? Just cheese? Chicken?

Story is a little light on details.

pawned?

Yes, I would say so.

Never bring a chessboard to a sword fight.

They weren't even Quesadillas. They were Empassantanadas.

Not extraneous enough! I want to know if they were beef or steak quesadillas!

They were chess quesadillas. In queso you wanted to know...

Was it the same chess-guy that was on House a while back?

I'd have to agree. It's great when Mario Kart gets boring.

They say fencing is the physical equivalent of chess, but geez, guys...
"I'm moving my pawn here."
"Well, I'm going to take it en passant."
"Hey, you can't make an en passant attack with a rook!"
"No, but I can with a sabre!"
 
2009-02-05 06:14:33 PM
Should have ended the fight before the knives came out.

The fight could have been ended with one solid right in Bangkok.

Hmm, checking article, the guy was the same age...

this remind me of the beginning of the rerun House episode last night. some guy loses a game of speed chess to some annoying little brat, and says, "good game" and offers his hand to the winner. instead of shaking his hand, the chess brat jumps up on the table and begins smashing the loser's head in with the chess clock.

while i have often thought of doing the same thing, it was never after winning a game.
 
2009-02-05 06:21:35 PM
The game of chess is like a sword fight... You must think first, before you get all stabby.

BTW, which version is that? In the version I have, the white pieces are red, not magenta.

It boggles my mind that the farking police don't know what the murder-inducing arguement was about, yet we know DO what the woman who reported the crime was cooking for dinner. Are we sure it was actually the police who responded and not some members of Congress?

Damn, on the first one, even. Is journalism dead yet?
