A Good Chess Player

A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his dog. He watched the game in astonishment for a while. "I can hardly believe my eyes!" he exclaimed. "That's the smartest dog I've ever seen."

"Nah, he's not so smart," the friend replied. "I've beaten him three games out of five."

Hazel's Jokes!

How is chess like life?

1. People go to check out a potential mate => CHECKMATE
2. People decide that their partner is not as perfect as they once thought => STALEMATE

3. People give up and retire => RESIGNATE

+ this occurs PERPETUALLY*

*unless your TIME on earth RUNS OUT

hence, the most common outcomes of our chess games!

For more on how chess relates to life:

Book Recommendation

Attacking Chess: Aggressive Strategies and Inside Moves from the U.S. Junior Chess Champion
by: Josh Waitzkin
When I first ordered this book, I was more attracted to the title than anything else. However, when I started reading, it was unlike any chess book I've read before. Simple, clear diagrams....detailed insight into key moves...and super easy to follow! I didn't even need to set up a board to follow along. Contains a variety of chess themes, and a look into the life of a chess champion. Great for all ages.

For $14, you can't go wrong! Order/reviews:
