    I gave up on playing chess. The game has become such a metaphor, such a fetish symbol for intellect, so every dude “knows how to play”, but won’t risk the humiliation of loss, and therefore won’t play. I don’t enjoy online chess, so I just don’t get to play.

      Give shot chess a try. Each piece is a small shot glass.

      I had loads of fun destroying my friends since I was in the chess club in grade school. And they had fun because alcohol.

      Or find a park that has chess boards.
