Hmm, if the property line is between them, blue king built just as close.

Checkmate.

They are mostly cousins anyway.

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

It takes big balls to bowl with those guys!

They ruined the proper tee lines.

A huge house has just been built next door to me. Bylaws allows foundation to be 4’ from the property line. But it also allows sections of the wall to jut out above the ground to another foot or so closer to the line. Doesn’t leave a lot of room to walk by.

Why are they in ashtrays?

Hey, and mine’s a Tilt-A=Whirl ! ! !

Bad neighbors are among the worst.

These two kings a bickering are…..

Answer: “No. It’s rook takes rook, so you’ll have to leave!”

Medieval McMansions

It was the only place. He had to stay out of the wetland areas.

Hop on over!

Looks like they both built too close to the property line.

Of course you know, that this means war…….

Well so did you wiseguy.

Two king~dumbs

They should talk it out over some Crown Royal.

Why not, you did

How else are we going to be able to p*ss in each other’s realms?

That’s OK; you can move it in a straight horizontal line.

That’s when you’re in your bedroom and you sneeze and your neighbor says Gesundheit.

No home owners association I guess ??? ;-)

No worries, their kids probably will marry and then there will be a large castle in the middle of the kingdom. Genetics might still be an issue though…

This is what happens with weak zoning codes.

Not often in chess that the king occupies the same space at the rook… maybe he’s castling….
