What would you rather?

What would you rather do? --> THE DREAMS
a) Become a grandmaster
b) Beat a grandmaster (of your choice!)
c) Win the Canadian Open
d) Win a medal at the Olympiad
e) Travel to every country to play in chess tournaments
f) Have every living grandmaster in your town for a party!

What would you rather do? --> THE NIGHTMARES
a) Miss your flight on the way to an important match
b) Lose to your younger sibling/relative on TV. If this doesn't apply to you, lose instead to the most annoying person you know.
c) Spill a drink on a grandmaster during their game
d) Lose every game you play for the next six months
e) Play an entire weekend chess tournament in a bunny suit
f) Play against the person in the bunny suit, lose, and have your game + game photo on the front cover of the Toronto Star.

me too! Did you like the "would you rather" part?

Yuanling said...

hmm i think i would choose a) for the first one and c) for the second one :P what about you?

Hazel Smith said...

I would probably choose to be a grandmaster for the first one (though the travelling option is tempting), and for the second, I would choose to play the person in the bunny suit. Who said bunnies can't play well? It would make a good joke too!

Yuanling said...

lol yes the travelling is sooo tempting, that probably would be my second choice. bunny suit...maybe on easter :P

I love travelling! Though I would be hesitant to go to certain countries with political problems. However, the travelling would eventually end, and the GM title would live on forever!

Sometimes I wonder if what I post on this blog will actually happen. Like, as a joke, someone I play dresses up in a bunny suit!
