A game is being played on stage behind a curtain. The audience can hear the players but can't see the moves.
The white player says "I start the game with my normal move"
The black player then says "I will kill you and your family if I lose this game -- here is my reply"
At this point the audience all smile since they know what the first two moves of the game were.
**********
And now for a few traditional chess jokes [perhaps some have not heard them]
In a park people come across a man playing chess against a dog. They are astonished and say: "What a clever dog!" But the man protests: "No, no, he isn't that clever. I'm leading by three games to one!"
********** APPOINTMENT. A chess master died - after a few days, a friend of his heard a voice; it was him!
“What’s it like, where you are now,” he asked.
“What do you want to hear first, the good news or the bad news.”
“Tell me the good news first.”
“Well, it’s really heaven here. There are tournaments and blitz sessions going on all the time and Morphy, Alekhine, Lasker, Tal, Capablanca, Botvinnik, they’re all here, and you can play them.”
“Fantastic!” the friend said, “and what is the bad news?”
“You have Black against Capablanca on Saturday.”
********* Two friends see each other in the street and one of them says: "My wife says that if tomorrow I go to the chess match, she will take my children and leave me. "
The other friend asks: "And what you will do? He replies: "E4, as always!

The one about "Capablanca on Saturday..." is hilarious ;D So is the one about the dog, but I've heard it before.
Did not quite get the first one though: so what were the first two moves?

I'm delighted you've started this thread savin! I'm always on the lookout for chessic jokes, though I'm unable find many at all So I'm hoping others on SNC will make a contribution here and enlarge my meagre collection! Here's mine which I purloined from the web ... was there life as we know it before the web ... or mobile phones? ===== In 1972, in a remote Soviet Union gulag in Siberia; some of the unfortunate inmates huddled around a radio, listening intently to the Spassky-Fischer world championship match ... until one day a boorish guard switched it off! So, a few weeks later, when a new prisoner, head down, shuffles in, they eagerly approach him and ask, "What happened in the world championship?", he looks up at them and grunts, "I lost!". ===== Killer first moves: If they are playing chess there is more than one initial move (for black & white) to allow the white self mate on blacks second move. So what game are they playing?

Yassen,
The moves were:
1. e4 c5 "I will kill you and your family if I lose this game -- here is my reply" Because this is obviously the "Sicilian Defense"
[no offense meant to any Sicilians we have playing at the site !!]

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were playing a game of chess. Dr. Watson was playing very slowly as usual.
After Watson had just taken 30 minutes on his last move Holmes replied quickly and said:
"Watson, what do you see when you study the position on this board?"
Watson was used to Holmes' deviously difficult questions and began to analyze the situation in earnest.
After 10 minutes Watson said "I deduce that I'm up by 2 pawns and a rook for a Bishop"
Holmes said "What else?"
Watson thought more and said: "I deduce by the number of cigarettes in the ash tray and the darkness outside that we have been playing for quite sometime"
Holmes said "What else?"
Watson replied "I can deduce by the way you have placed my captured pieces and I have placed yours that you are spending less time on the game and more time on other things than I."
Holmes then sighed and said "Watson!! You idiot!!! You are in checkmate!!!"

What's the difference between a chess player and a couple on a date? The chess player mates before chatting.

"Ten ways to tell you're a chess addict" ;D ;D ;D ;D
You kicked out your teddybear and sleep with your chess pieces
During sex you and your partner use blitz time controls
Your special remix from your favourite chess games didn't score well on your children's houseparty.
You think the book "the mating game" is a chess book in spite of the strange acting nude couple on the cover
You think Monica blew Bill off the chessboard during her intern hours at the White House
You call your new girlfriend a "novelty"
You deleted Windows from your PC to have enough space for your computer chess tablebases
When you look at a picture of that top model you think "Could she play chess?"
You want the school teacher to give your children an Elo -rating in stead of a grade.
You think the remark: "Get a life" wasn't directed at you.

For a true chess addict the concept 'woman' is a novelty.
