 @c1bd69cb @440af60e the author of the chess dummy book is affiliated with a mini series on Netflix called queens gambit.. I watched it last night hoping for some tips.. instead I got the same feeling an aspiring guitar player gets when watching Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rock Guitar Masterclass for the first time.

What would probably make it more interesting is if y'all played Strip Chess! 
 @c1bd69cb @440af60e were we not?

Send pics to prove it to @d646aae5  (I know I definitely don't need to see them) 
 @f43a2aa2 @440af60e @d646aae5 

Actually, I think @ceed4f56 wants to see them, too. 
 @d646aae5 @c1bd69cb @440af60e @ceed4f56 that’d be inappropriate and financially irresponsible.. They’re posted on our joint OF account.

Castling.  Forking.  Pinning.  Openings.  

Chess terms?  Or titles for videos on the c00p/mrman OF?

Also, this is the only type of chess I think I could be decent at:

I mean, look at those nerds punch!  I could take 'em, no sweat. 
 @f43a2aa2
I tried watching that show too. Almost nothing to do with chess!
