Come on over. I promise it's fun.
On this date in 1996, IBM's supercomputer beat Gary Kasparov in a game of chess for the first time.
This week's questions are in honor of that amazing feat.
1. When and how did you learn to play chess?
I learned all the pieces and moves as a child. Ummm I'm still learning. Every once in awhile I try it again.
2. How is your chess game?
It's lousy. I'll probably never be any good at it. I cannot sacrifice my pawns. It's unthinkable, and I grit my teeth having to do so. At least the death is quick and painless.
3. When did you last find yourself in a stalemate?
Well, I live in the Town of Stalemate, in the County of Quagmire. Since the popular vote obviously has absolutely NO place in our modern Republic, I can vote here or not vote, and with the same result.
4. A gambit is a chess opening in which a player sacrifices a piece in hopes of gaining an advantageous position. What was one of your recent real world gambits?
I don't do that in real life, only in online games.
5. Which piece is most like you and why?
The knight probably. This is because I like to come out of nowhere and take out Trolls, and Ogres, and other Miscreants. But not the one pictured below, who comes from Norway.
