Geir,
I appreciate your clarification.
I accept that you intended this only as an offhand joke, and I will have a good laugh at myself for presuming that it fit with the old, familiar pattern (of dismissal), which I have much too frequently encountered here.
Again, thank you; and, I am sorry for the unnecessary diversion in this thread.
May it serve to help others better appreciate the importance of clear definitions.
Sincerely. |

Geir,
I enjoyed your joke, the way I enjoyed the Beatles. The same chess analogy came to my mind each time I heard this song. |

I just thought that there are too many threads with serious discussions and there could be some fun on the side too. |

I'm glad Hauke didn't mention the horrible German pop band BeFour (read: B4). Their greatest success: Rewriting the text to a famous 1990s dance song ("Around the World" by "ATC" which in itself could be used to say "move the rook from a to c").
Well, good luck fighting electronic cheating when Google Glass comes out! Or - since it is already appropriately named GG - good game! |

wiki...wiki...2007...SRTL...Dude, I'm 53, I'm happily oblivious to
such stuff :-)
But since you mentioned ATC, I mention A-ha.
Apologies to the English speakers. I tend to freely mix English
and German even in my thoughts: If Nelson says "Ha Ha" (E), it means
"Ätsch Ätsch" (D). If he says "Ätsch Ätsch" (E), it means "Ha Ha" (D).
On with the show.
The B-52 and U2 are clearly too long for a normal chessboard.
And then, there was this study-like position which my friend only
could win by an underpromotion. Good that "Three Dark Knight" exists!
So I hummed unconspicuously "The Show must go on"...and what does
the idiot do? He promotes to Leo :-)

New joke:
Have you heard about the problemist who divorced his wife when he discovered she was a cook? |

My usual problemist joke is:
"My wife is not willing to give attention to my problems."
"What kind of problems?"
"Mostly selfmates." |
