In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for October 05, 2023

Yes, but your queen is full of spit.

What effect does having a king that is corked have on the game of chess? (Or … Is there another game that’s going on here?)

And the Queen has been porked.

Lately there have been more of these that just leave me wondering what the joke is supposed to be.

Wasn’t it the queen in staglag 17?

I remember at a Cleveland Indians game in the 90’s when there was a “corked bat” incident involving Albert Bell and a few others….

And Sammy Sosa during the Great Steroid HomeRun Record chase…

AND – there is pine tar on the pawns!

Check for spit under that pawn!

Love it!!

This ties in nicely with the current storyline for “Agnus”.

And the knight is juicin’.

You don’t want to know what he was doing with the Bluetooth beads.

Sounds like a job for Agnes’ Chess Helmet.

That’s chess not fair!!
