Who here is a chess player? I play kind of sporadically but I've been in a bit of a chess phase lately. I'm not that good but I've been worse

Right? Right after I made this thread I checked and was shocked to see it is not there. Such a classic game, not even hard to program.
We should organize a Shroomery chess league!

except I hate playing online. In person you get to see peoples thoughts, sometimes they touch pieces w/out moving them, giving you clues as to their potential future moves.
chess is such a mindfuck

Yeah the other day I was playing some face-to-face chess with a friend of mine. I moved a piece, and before I let go (I always hang onto it for a sec to check out all the possible ramifications) my opponent jumped to move a piece that I saw then would take it, so I moved it back. He was like "NNOOOOO!"
Hopefully it taught him to keep his goddamned shirt on.

YESSS! Though I do agree, online chess and in person chess are almost like two different kinds of games. I find that I can face and occasional defeat stronger opponents in person just because of the psychological aspect of the game.

I've always wanted to play chess on acid. Acid seems to do this thing where I become God at any type of game. A long time ago my friends were obsessed with Soul Calibur, but I could never get into it, just didn't like it that much. Then one day I played with them while I (alone) was on acid, and I beat my friends sixty times in a row, with each character in the entire game. This is a true story. The acid caused me to sort of trance out on the fighting dynamics and I didn't really think about anything I was doing, I just sort of tripped out to the colors and patterns and pressed the buttons I felt like pressing, and as a consequence I became indestructible.
I still don't like that game but it was fun to rape my friends at it.
