Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 06, 2012

Oh Yeah

I really hope Nate will win

Let me guess: Gina whoops Nate and then quits Chess Club just because, hammering home the only point this strip has until the next storyline.

Lincoln Peirce, please tell me Nate’s chess rating. I was 1400 USCF when I quit.

I think it might be a draw like in the bet.

Go Gina!

chess is all Nate’s got, don’t think it’ll be fair if he were to lose to Gina loudmouth

The last time, veeeerry long ago, that a girl told me let’s rock ’n roll, it had another meaning.Granted, she was older than Gina too.

The same ree-action Nate had when he met Artur. I mean, Nate got scared of Artur and it was the first time they met!

Looking at experience he won’t win. But I hope he does.

I think she has some cheating thing going. A secret earbud, maybe, and the teacher is giving her the moves so…, nah, I guess not.

take her nate!

Gina will win in 3 moves!

Here comes trouble!

Ah, but you are a dreamer. But I wish you luck.

I guess is that she will beat Nate, then in comes Arthur and puts the smack down.

THIS is what comes of acting like you’re supposed to be the best at something, like our feckless ‘lil hero! Haw! Remember how he freaked when Artur admitted to “letting” him win a game (some seasons ago) & Nate was bein’ schooled by any ‘n all (before he “got his motor running”, but remember, he had to rise out of THAT from the fetal position he’d temporarily assumed).

IF Nate WERE really with it, he’d just say: O.K. Gina, we’ll see how you do in a game with me, and get on with it……….

Geeze!! He’s startin’ right in, letting Gina yank him around the way Artur did that other time! HAW!!

Just sit down and play, Nate!! “Not ready”, indeed.

some girls are really good chess players like the polgars.

will nate win or gina?

What if Gina and Artur face each other in a game of chess?

Looking in the future, I like to think Nate is actually PRETENDING

GULAG MATCH

I heard you could checkmate someone in two moves
