Hey kid you might be better at this child’s game than me (what did you call it again chest? what oh chess? ha a terrible name to try to market) but guess what kid there won’t be any ice left for penguins before you even get your first grey hair
I lean in close for this part of the monologue to emphasize the wisdom of my words to the camera
Look kid I don’t recommend psychedelics to kids as a rule, which is why reality becoming a bad trip makes this fantasy combat battle game easy for me. Ah you think chess is your ally? You merely adopted the chess. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see chess pieces until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

My cousin smiles and wanders away from their strange uncle
The beginner will be determined by rock, paper, scissors. Also castling is cheating but moving two pawns one field forward instead of moving one pawn two fields is allowed. And if you do cheat but your opponent only notices after making their move it’s also allowed. May the best conman win.
Family games being determined by the best conman are the best.
Grandma always have herself extra cards when she dealt. The fucking shrew
Also en passant is enabled for all pieces. Yes, rooks, knights, queen,…
as it should,
given that en peasant was made to compensate for when they introduce double move for pawns.
Thanks, I hate it.
The horsies are near the king and queen so they can ride them.
Worse: Back row order is decided by a lottery machine. No intentional symmetry, black and white get unique draws.
Why do children always exchange bishop and knight?
When I was little, I remembered the placement by thinking the king and queen don’t want to stand next to the horse, because it probably smells like shit.
I don’t think most children have ever been near a horse to know and think that
Would you trust a bishop?
Children and Bishop. A bond made in heaven
They must be Patti Smith fans
With the rank and file labels added, you could have flipped the board, or even rotated it by 90°
apparently my little cousin would do better than i do
