Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for April 08, 2024

Rook got your queen?

A joke incomprehensible to a non-chess player. Knights are the only pieces that can ‘turn a corner’ since they make an L-shaped move.

Chess players have a very low threshold of humor.

But Queenie, if you stick with him, you will be disparaged as “beknighted”.

“And no more one-knight stands.”

She likes crowd-sourcing?

And stop horsing around. The bishop might hear you.

She needs to pawn him off on someone else, he’s only trying to rook her out of her money.

checkmate

Just take the long way around..

If they do go out, who’s going to protect the pawns?

The queen is Catherine II (or Catherine the Great)

Check, you did get rooked last knight.

Which one? He has eight squares to choose from.

He knew two-to-one the rook would say that.

If the King finds out you two are together, he’ll send some pawns in and you’ll be rooked to death!!

What did the English chess player say when he finished his meal? Check mate.

It’s too restrictive for her.

It’s just around the second corner.

He’s planning on a wild knight.
