It's like checkers but the pieces have fancy hats and walk funny.

Don't trust this toaster that much, it could be a villain in disguise.
Mostly phone-posting, sorry for any typos or autocorrect hijinks.

22 years ago I actually had an official chess ranking.  Not a great one, but I was ranked! I don't think I've retained any of that meager knowledge though.

I do, though, remember what castling and en passant are...  So ... yay?

Honestly the only more I know apart from that is how to (sort of) handle the Ruy Lopez.

A hotel is hosting a Christmas Chess tournament, and the manager is in the foyer to welcome guests. He overhears the first competitors coming in... 'No one stands a chance against me, I'm a chess God...' Then another player says 'My ELO is beyond compare...'. Yet another is heard saying 'I can win this blindfold...'

Eventually, the hotel manager shouts 'Right, the lot of you, OUT!'

'But why?' they ask, 'we're here for the Christmas tournament!'

The manager says 'If there's one thing I can't stand, it's chess nuts boasting in an open foyer!'
