I wonder what they would say if chess pieces could talk. I believe
that it would sound like a dysfunctional family because it is the
queen that is wearing the pants in that household; not the king.

I think the Bishops would act really arrogant because they can attack
long range and they like stuck up pieces anyway. I picture Rooks to
talk slow and sluggish but with old age wisdom.

Who knows with all this technology we have, maybe someday in the
future we'll be able to have a conversation with our chess pieces.

Maybe! And maybe that same technology will mutate raving lunatics into
something more useful, like orange trees.

Ah, old world sexism. Thanks for sharing, Ivan.

Why "the stupidest idea"? It's just a man's idea. Everybody has right to their

Surely there is an important distinction to having a right to an opinion
and having a right to have one's opinions be immune to criticism. I
would never deny him the right to the public expression of this idea;
but that doesn't mean I should deny myself the right to express my
disdain at its loathsome content.

Place your hand on Albert Einstein for a minute and it seems like 30
seconds.
Place your girl on a hot stove and it seems like an hour.
Place your hour on a minute and it seems like a hot girl

Well, they certainly must. In his book The Seven Deadly Chess Sins, GM
Jonathan Rowson writes about the importance of "talking to your pieces".
Obviously they (the pieces) must have told him a few things already...

Sure they did. The King always have been asking to protect his Lady
from those Stinging B's and Galloping Horseys. He can't do anything
with those pesky pawns though, because all of them wanted to pursue
their dreams, to run away and become Super Models.
