The year is 2156 AD. Two SUPER COMPUTERS are playing for the Section 7, Intergalactic Championship! Of course by this time, the super computers have been able to analyze every possible attack line. They have NOT, however, been able to analyze every position where the player DOES NOT WEAKEN HIS POSITION BY ATTACKING! For example, once a pawn has moved forward the opponent can place their pieces to take advantage of whatever weaknesses were created by the pawn advance. Such analysis is noted and in memory of both super computers for moves ranging from 1 to 1 with an exponent of 18 (it was estimated in the 20th century that the game contained moves to the 19th exponent - the super computers showed they were wrong).
Okay, so now we are looking at time, space, and the development of the super computer, which BTW, 'knows all'.
And the game starts!
White plays 1.Nf3!
A BRILLIANT MOVE based on years of computations!!! White has not made any weakening pawn moves, but continues to lead in development!
Black responds with: 1...Nf6!!
Equalizing development and stopping White from seizing an advantage in the opening.
White plays 2.Nc3!!!
Refusing to be intimidated by Black and maintaining the integrity of White's pawn structure!
Black plays 2...Nc6!!!
WOW! Such a BEAUTIFUL MOVE! Black shows the opponent that it is White who must make the fatal pawn move - which will result in a win in 2,045 moves! Sooner if White misplays the game!
So now it's White's move... the super computer needs to draw on more energy than ever imagined. Lights dim in the surrounding city as the super computer thinks...
And it finds a FANTASTIC MOVE!!! After only analyzing the game from move to 2 to the exponent of 16! White plays: 3.Nb1!!!!
Viewers fall out of their chairs! Grand Masters (who are only kept around to explain to the public what the super computers are doing) fall down to their knees and start crying!
After the turbulence has stopped, one Grand Master in tears explains: "It's an amazing psychological ploy. White informs the opponent that BLACK will be FORCED to make the first pawn weakness, which White will exploit within a few thousand moves and win the game!" Then the old geezers eyes turn glassy and he slumps to the floor.
The game continues...
The super computer now playing the Black pieces needs ALL the resources possible to avoid this sneaky, horrible TRAP set by White! It pulls on all the power and thinks... and thinks.... 10 BILLION moves a second it analyzes until suddenly, it finds a save!!!
And so Black plays: 3...Ng8!!!!
Demonstrating that White CANNOT force a win!
So White plays 4.Ng1!!!
And Black immediately plays (so as not to be caught in ZUGSWANG!)
4...Nb8!!!!!
And a DRAW is reached!

After the joke, there was a long, silent pause, during which we all looked unimpressed and listened to the wind howl. Few seconds later a solitary church bell rang a few times from a near by graveyard, then a bit of tumbleweed rolled by... then we left.
