My mate,dyl,said I'm crazy when I told him I always say 'Hooba hop!' to myself whenever I move a knight.
He doesn't know this yet,but when I'm really having fun in a chessgame I also make car noises when moving a rook down a file.I say yummie or gobble gobble when I eat a pawn or piece.Bishops go 'swoosh','cause they're so fast.Queens giggle when you touch 'em.And when you move the king it lands on it's square with a mighty 'THUMP' because he's so big and fat.
It all adds to my enjoyment of the game.Am I insane?Am I loooooosing it?Or am I just a big kid 😀

Oh yeah,'Hooba hop!' is taken from a comic featuring a monkey-like creature with a 10 meter tail,and it says HOOBA HOP! 🙂

Kight moves I say... 'horsey does an L'.
I do like to make random noises including 'jetsons cartoon', blackboard sounds, clock noises, Jeopardy music, explsions, lazers, phazers, inpulse cannons, small children weeping... and monkeys getting funky.

Other than that I just hum soft mood music depending on how I feel the game is going... You know you are in trouble when I start doing the 'doom' music from the original Star Trek...

No, I do not do it as loud as Jim Carey in 'Cable Man'.

P-

Edit! I did move this thread to the general forum... but it would be good for RHP help and site ideas also. Would be funny if we could pick a sound scheem if we like at RHP for every chess move....

I think it is absolutely brilliant, what an imagination. I can only imagine the noises you were making as you were dismantling me in our recent tournament games...lol

Are you moving with your left hand? Do you hear Jaws music when you are losing?

Get a copy of Battle Chess. I used to play that at the office, but I'd get really strange looks from people walking down the hall 😀

No,when I'm losing all the pieces are mumbling at me.....🙁
"Why didn't you move me to c5 sooner"says the c-pawn.
"What the heck am I still doing on a1" says the white rook.
"You bloody idiot,you put me at the rim again" says the knight.
"What on earth possessed you to sac me?I told you you'd still need me!" says the queen,pouting aside the board.
Etc.....

So...While waiting for someone to move in one of my games I went cruising through the past posts (Looking for something less contentious) which I somehow managed to overlook......


This amused me...so I brought it back

Maybe we could have a sound effects chessboard or two in Redhotpawnia?

Hey, I agree there, this is one of my favourite threads, for the overall general silliness of it.

Hehe, bit off-topic:
I actually heard the other day that LASER is actually an acronymn.
Cool, never knew that.

Yup, it's short for

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (and bishop noises).

The end bit in brackets is like the silent p in psychiatric ward.

How about a chess set with sound effects and laser effects?

Bishop would have little search light on top....Knight would have the funky blue lights underneath it so it looks like it is floating....?????
