“Chess is mental torture” - Garry Kasparov, who beat me to it

“There just isn't enough televised Chess ” - David Letterman

“We don’t really know how the game was invented, though there are
suspicions. As soon as we discover the culprits, we’ll let you know”
- Bruce Pandolfini

I play chess when somebody, usually one of my children, begs asks me to.  If chess is life, then I think of it as life in a straight jacket.

My favorite middle child went 3-0-1 in his chess tournament yesterday.  Yay Wolfie!  Don't get a big head.  Now go do your chores.  Love you!
