Thing is though dude, intelligence means nothing. It is what human beings take great satisfaction in, in their attempt to separate themselves from animals. We( ooops sorry, i meant you, o superior being) have no more right to be on this planet than any other species, but you just cannot see that because you are so arrogant it is unbelievable.
Okay it's not. I believe it.

I once heard of a chessplayer who, whilst playing a game in a cafe and finding himself in a lost position, managed to castle with the salt cellar from the tray of a passing waiter.
Nordlsys - by impossible fork, I was talking about a Chess fork! I think you knew that.😉

Since demonseed repeated his knight story, I can repeat mine, too: I often see people as sitting a knight-jump away from each other, for example in meetings. And then I may make imaginary moves with them. I have also once visualized a D major scale on a chessboard, but got distracted by the f sharp being taken. And I have had a lot of chess dreams. And words like "check", "pin" or "mate" are likely to trigger chess thoughts. Or if someone talks about Murhpy, I might start to think of Morphy. Yes, I have definitely been playing too much chess. 🙂
