I play Backgammon at a semi-amateur level,
Go at a pish-poor level and
Chess at a level.
Also Mancala on occasion.
Do you bored, bored. I wood.

When I was little, my gran used to make me leave the room then hide a scrunched up postit, then I'd come back in and have to find it. It was kwalitee, ewe should have been there :smilie4:
Backgammon is basically just Ludo for adults.
Go - is that like Othello for the middle classes, never played the chap.
Chess is for people who would like to play Risk but see it as beneath them.
Mancala - from what I can see that's like saying I play "ball game".
I see what you have done here btw, you've just listed the most fancy-dan games you can think of. So we will think you are the famous actor Sacha Distell. Well I'm not falling for it.
I'm single handedly raising the bar to the brow, which is more uni than high.
Risk is a great game. I enjoy that two.
You underestimate backgammon. There's more beneath the surface than meats the I. It can be cruel at thymes.
I've never played Othello, but it is nothing like Go.
The Mancala comment, I can't argue with at all.
I watched that for weigh two long.
Sew did eye.
Bet it wasn't as long as ewe though.
Fuck sake, I jumped to the end and still don't have a clue who won.
I'm assuming it was the midget.
Fabio trumped Raj from a compromised position. Oo-er missus.
Was it when his circle was on the wall in the middle that the game turned round, or something else.
Exactly that. Once the circle is benched, the opposition park the bus and waste time to preserve their slender lead.
That's what I thought.
Ewe could see the difference in body language and speed of play.
The chap who thought he could get higher numbers by shaking the cup more noticeably slowed and the other one speeded up.
White turn and mate in 3 (2 white / 1 black moves)

You have 2 days for the solution.
If the newspaper was going to go out of style, I would have hoped that the Chess and Bridge prompts would go down with the ship.Quote:

The white horse utilizes his constitutional right to bear arms and checkmates the black horses head off.Quote:

Player checkmates, and then grandmaster removes player's crown and jams it into player's abdomen. For the third move, grandmaster impregnates player's mom.
Grandmaster: Because we felt a simple"just really good at chess" wasn't a true enough representation of the egos involved.
And the answer is:
White move the bishop to D2 and then will checkmate no matter what black moves.

White 2 D2 doesn`t force a move.... that is the bit I couldn`t understand, must force move on first go or how could it be 2-1 moves (definite)..... I did go through many ideas but I couldn`t solve, not sure this solves either however. Gimmie the moves and prove me wrong (happy to learn)
I`ve watched the video and it is still messing with my head :S. My mind couldn`t cover that many permutations it seems.
Thanks for the puzzle anyway, I do hate it when I can`t solve `em but there you go.....
White's first move: bishop to D2.
If the black bishop captures the white bishop then white Queen move to D4 (checkmate).
If the black rook captures the white knight then white Queen move to E1 (checkmate).
If the black knight captures the white knight then white Queen move to F4 or E1 (checkmate).
If the black pawn advances to C5 then white Rook move to D5 (checkmate).
LE: Perhaps you haven't saw the black King placed to E5.
Next problem

I find it fascinating that you are able to see moves on a chessboard, but can't compose a decent shot with a camera. I believe the term is myopic.
Be se7en to bee tree.
Actually that Czech mate in Juan.
I think I just ruptured something in my neocortex.
Do I win?
If so, if it's anything from Romania then I don't want it.
In Romanian chess, pieces aren't captured, they're stolen.
No! Because the black rook will "stole" the bishop and we'll fail to checkmate in 3 moves.Quote:

Basically any win is a good win and showboating is for homos.
As I have no idea what WTFFF! means then that would apparently be a no.Quote:
