There were only two types of animals at the weekend tournament. What were they?

Answer:

(1) Round Robins

(2) Mice

Huh...mice? Hey, where did all the "swiss" cheese go?

Don't be surprised if someone calls your game a kangaroo (1. d4 e6 2. c4 Bb4+) or pterodactyl (1. e4 g6 2. Nf3 Bg7 3. d4 c5), but really, a wild bull (1. e4 Nh6), crab (1. a4 e5 2. h4), or...fried fox (1. e4 f4 2. d4 Kf7). A good way to get fried, that's for sure.

Another Chess Illusion

This is quite amusing. Too bad the photographer didn't shoot the "two" boards as "one".
