Oh man I tried a chess club as a kid, got to finals of the internal club (there were only like 6 of us lol) was going pretty piece for piece with the other kid then moved a pawn to set up a fork and the "ref" told me it was too late in the game to move pawns. Ended up in a stalemate (with pawns still on the board). Found out after the "ref" was his uncle. I never went back but I still enjoy chess even though my Elo is only 1200-1400 (depending on time rules).
