This is sort of user lounge where editors can take a break to play a game of chess.

1. The kings decide their knights are not worthy of honor, and their titles are⏎
⏎
  retracted. They are left to be pawns. Meanwhile,  ⏎
⏎
all of White's pawns are promoted⏎
⏎
  to Bishops for being such good members of the church. Black was too lazy to do so.
2. After leaving for a couple days to use the restroom (he really had to go), the⏎
⏎
  white king from the previous game to find that  ⏎
⏎
a new game has started. Angry, he⏎
⏎
  takes out half the board.
3. Black apologizes and offers white three queens.⏎

#The knights were doing something unprofessional, as they say. The pawns were… just there.

# Seriously, people, what happened to that last game? I leave for a week, come back and what do I find? A different game. That last game didn't last very long. What an outrage! Okay, anyway [[User:Pieguy48|Pieguy48]] 01:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)⏎
# Black was feeling a bit sympathetic for the white team (black's an old softie, we all know that), so he gave them three queens.

It is so much better to have visually recognisable shapes than letters when trying to picture up to 24 objects at once. The letters idea is just a non-starter. [[jazborocketman]]

Might be good for the Calvin Chess game, but I just moved so somebody else has to do that one :) [[User:LittleBrother|LittleBrother]] 15:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
