It should be "pointy hat man" and "castle"

I just write scholars m8 on my hand

Great advice, but I can't find the m8 square. What should I do next?

To find it you must first master b8

Your world vision is too narrow. It is time for you to expand your horizons, move across borders, explore new worlds, new planets, new lives! Start with checkers. Maybe some day your board will be big enough to see the squares you can only dream of.

Maybe, but alcohol works fine. Intellectual research at my local chess club shows that three beers is the optimal amount, massively increasing intuition, without significantly decreasing intelligence. So for beginners I would recommend starting there.

Has anybody ever seen 🅱️agnus 🅱️arlsen use a horsey? Yeah I didn't think so. Where would he detail the moves?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That's because the Horsey spells L and Magnus don't want to lose.

Too easy to get caught. It would be better to use some kind of device, maybe hidden in a bodily orifice.

Psh, those are the easy ones! The tricky one to remember is how the horsey moves.
