Nice. I'll play it out next time I get my board out.
Theist: P-K5
Me: You can't do that.
Theist: P-K5
Me: I just said, you can't do that.
Theist: P-K5
Me: For fuck's sake man! That's an illegal move. Do you want me to go over the rules again?
Theist: I know the rules.
Me: OK. Then play properly.
Theist: P-K5
Me: Fuck this.

Here's a chess puzzler (and no, I don't play): A novice player makes a wager than he can play 10 masters at the same time and win at least 5 of the games. The novice's only stipulation is the he gets to play white on 5 of the boards and black on the other 5.
The wager is accepted, and sure enough, the novice wins five or more games against recognized Master-level players. How did he do it?
Hint: Stalemates are disallowed. In the event of a stalemate, the Masters agree to capitulate and give the win to the novice.

I used to love playing speed chess. We played with a chess clock, 20 mins each for the whole game. Sometimes 10 mins, and even 5!
