Me , some one would have to pry it from my hands and beat me over the
chess board because id never let it go willingly...


If I were the world champion I would not only take on
and defeat all comers, but I would go one further: I would
recapture the title of world's strongest chess player by
defeating the top chess programs in matches. Reaching
my prime at the tender age of 17, I would then proceed to
win every major international tournament the world over,
up 'till I was, say, 30 years of age. Then I would go on TV
and say chess bores me; it is no challenge because of
my far superior intellect (see The Wrath of Khan). My shirt
unbuttoned to show my astounding musculature, I would
look into the camera and issue a deadpan prediction of the
eventual demise of mankind to the rise of computers, which
of course, only I was able to stave off for the time being. I
would then die in a mysterious plane crash, to establish a
legend of absolute invincibility.

My estate would contain letters describing how occasionally,
I deliberately played slightly inferior moves, just to rattle my
opponents; this would protect my legend from any tarnish
which might otherwise accrue after intense computer analysis
of my games.

-------------------

But of course, I could never be world champion; this is
partly because chess is not important enough to waste a
valuable mind on. It's just a game; a complete waste of
time. Life is short. That's why I have given up chess
altogether.
