Subject: RE: BS: New chess thread
I remember the story of the amazing Dr. Alekine who was not exactly known in the sporting world for his cheery attitude and sportsmanship, and who, when he lost a game to a duffer, picked up his fallen king, upset the chessboard and hurled the king into the nearest wall, smashing it to bits and exclaiming "I know I must lose! God know's I must lose but WHY MUST I LOSE TO THIS IDIOT?!!".

That kinda sounds like my brand of chess.

Then there's the Calvin and Hobbs variety but it involves helmets, ballbats, gloves and pencils without erasers.
