Chess Limericks

Their once was a man with the blues,
playing a game others thought he should loose,
then with a move a pawn,
the night became dawn,
and checkmate was made in 5 moves

Not so good at these myself (although I'll give it a think).

Here's an interesting link, though: http://www.edcollins.com/chess/limerick.htm

I like that page....thanks for sharing! cool....

Ah, you're welcome. I just can't help helping.

Still can't make one up of my own, though. What, exactly, rhymes with 'en prise'?!

then dies....

I'll pirp your Queen around
'Till checkmate has been found.
A pirp who plays chess
Can cause quite a mess.
Smack! Smack! is the tell-tale sound.

Which begs an interesting question: How does one pronounce it, officially?

Aha!

There was a chessplayer from Kuwait
Who had the black queen in a state
On a wing and a prayer
She retreated a square
Leading to a nice three move checkmate

It is indeed. Thank you. I've personally always pronounced it "on preezay", but recently I heard someone at my chess club pronounce it "on preeyay"

Perhaps I should just say "able to be captured without sufficient compensation". It's more of a mouthful, but at least I know where I stand.

There once was a pawn on f4,
Who conscientiously objected to war.
And with tears of despair,
After white played the Bird,
He threw himself onto his sword.
