Just wondering if any of you play chess. If so what are your favorite openings and why, etc. Any memorable games? That type of stuff.

We don't have an emoticon that can describe how great this thread is going to be...

I was actually being serious. I just have a feeling that this thread will get off-track quickly, and it probably won't be your doing, bukdow.
I've played chess, but I don't play it enough to know the names of each individual box.
So I guess the answer is no, I don't play chess.

When I went to junior high I never really played much again. I still enjoy it, but probably play about once a year if that. Mostly I don't play because people won't play me. I usually bust out the 4 move check mate on them and they don't want to play again.
I put myself out on a limb, play nice please (or I'll ban you).
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Its cool that you could do well at it. Don't assume Glenn.
STEW BEEF!
I used to play a ton when I was younger, but its been so long I'd be terrible now. I don't remember any of my old moves but I used to know a few 3-5 move checkmates.
I've still got a chess set but no one to play with.
