Being destroyed by an 8-year-old is the standard chess experience tbh
I was beating people at chess when I was six
By eight, I was beating guys at 40K down at the hobby shoppe
The Ender Wiggin experience.
Hey
I never killed a kid in the shower using math or whatever happened in those books
He kicked the kid in the face until he died
Orson Scott Card is weird
And that was before we get to the ethnically homogenous planet of genetically engineered tiny chinese people with OCD
You are forgetting the religious cult.
Wait til I get going!
there's just so much Card weirdness to choose from
My favorite is pastor being super excited about bringing the pig people Jesus.
Mormonism is a hell of a drug
We have to put an end to the White Pharoah
Put that kid on the basketball court
We'll see who is the big man in Havana now
we have the best emojis folks
Chess wizards never see the Euro step coming
"Okay but who overthrew a colonial dictatorship?"
"I'm 8."
"Excuses excuses."
Great, now when I think of a Fidel Castro "chess master" will no longer be the first thing I think of.
:fidel-checkmated: has excellent emoji potential
Agreed. Someone who knows how this shit works, please!
Here it is with just Fidel for more general use. Wasn't sure how to include the chess/kid without it being illegible/too small or splitting it in half. Seeing if I can make a version that includes them as well.
Edit: Added second version.
tyfys :07:
chess is counterrevolutionary. you want me to sacrifice my pawns (peasants) for the queen (despicable liege lord)? a true friend of the people is checked in 3 moves through the emancipation of the serfs and application of laicism. the heap of chess masters from the USSR embody the revisionism of the post-stalin era in the Soviet Union
Pawns getting to the other side of the board and becoming the most powerful piece represents the seizure of power by the proletariat 
This is exactly why I don't show up to our local chess club
Can you even imagine a single U.S. politician, let alone a President, just sitting around and playing chess with children?
I wouldn’t want any of the Epstein class within 100 chessboards of a kid tbh
Check Maté
Miles Davis probably the only person across human history who emanates cool as much as Fidel
He looks devastated.
i too probably would lose at a chess game to an 8 year old if i was dead for 10 years already
The merit of youth is being able to adapt to new environments much quicker. The demerit is they're more chaotic so the wins aren't as consistent.
Once you develop certain habits over a long period of time, you become predictable. However you have a higher consistency of wins playing against opponents from the similar time period as your own. Because they're probably used to the same habits as you are.
I could go on, but I think too much already. This is why they added a time limit to chess games.
