i can play chess, used to attend cough chess club cough cough
Anway great game not played in years
We never had a chess club, I feel like I've missed out on a valuable part of my education here.
I taught myself to play using one of those computerised chess board things (ooh look at me!)
-
I used to play for my primary school! I was the second best there. I was a lonely child......
Haven't played in ages, probably rubbish now.

i was at a house party where i was playing drunken chess as well (it possibly turned into strip chess later and i won about half the games).

I believe if I remember correctly, that this has been brought up before. (Will do a search)
Edit: I think this is the thread, but may be wrong which I have a feeling I am http://www.knightmare.com/forum/http://www.knightmare.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1;action=display;threadid=486;start=msg7795#msg7795

The knight/night pun is simple yet effective, so it's no surprise that it should turn up in several unrelated places.
One of the best uses of it I've come across is a joke in which a member of the Round Table needs to make a journey, even though it's dark and stormy outside. He doesn't have access to a horse, only a large dog. But the dog's owner says, "A knight can't go out on a dog like this!"
Musing on the concept of a Knightmare chess set:
Powers That Be
King: Treguard
Queen: Mrs. Grimwold
Bishops: Brother Mace, Cedric
Knights: Motley, Pickle
Rooks: Merlin, Hordriss
Pawns: Dungeoneers
Opposition
King: Lord Fear
Queen: Morghanna
Bishops: Skarkill, Hands
Knights: Fatilla, Olaf
Rooks: Mogdred, Malice
Pawns: Goblins
Alternative suggestions welcome.

I would include Lillith as a Queen...but I have no idea which side she'd be on.
You could almost make a third 'grey' team, one composed of neutral characters who pledged allegiance to no-one.

I do remember a long long time ago suggesting something about a Knightmare Chess set, when I was coming up with a couple of 'bright' ideas. Can't remember if I suggested anything about pieces though!
It was indeed discussed in times gone by: http://www.knightmare.com/forum/http://www.knightmare.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1;action=display;threadid=354
