It's rowing Chess gangs, kinda like Chess boxing, but on a boat
I came here to en passant and kick ass... And I'm already on the 5th rank.
What's en passant?
If you have to ask you are not chess gang material.
This was my school. We had a large group playing chess at lunch (partly because the library was the only air-conditioned building in the school that students could access).
Stoned chess was quite fun though....
If your students are obsessed with chess (ick) then leave them be, they'll either be geniuses or homeless, either way, beyond the scope of your schools ability to cope.
theyll either be geniuses or homeless
Dont sell them short, they could be both
I think the roaming chess gangs were walking around looking for people using the London system
Roaming chess gangs got me surprised and hilarious thinking of stereotyped " chess nerds" going around as gangs.
A teacher wrote this?
I misread as chessboards are filled with blood and liquid which paints a violent picture of the chess battles
Your comment made me take another look. You're right, it's food, not blood. Got fooled by my reading abilities again
Glad I wasn't the only one
You're*
Just no respectful.
Holy hell
