George Carlin once asked, "Can you buy an entire chess set at a pawn shop?".
Two friends meet on the street one day and one of them says, "My wife says if I play in the chess tournament tomorrow she'll take the kids and leave me." The other asks him, "So what are you going to do?" And the other answers, "Same as always, e4."
A guy gets on a long-distance flight. He's just getting comfortable when somebody sits down next to him. He looks up and wow, it's Garry Kasparov. Kasparov basks for a moment in the recognition. Some way into the flight, the meals are cleared away and Garry produces an elegant little wooden travel chess set. He begins to play. After a while Kasparov asks the guy whether he would like to play chess to kill time. The guy replies, "Hey Garry, You think I don't know who you are? I can't compete with a world champion." Kasparov replies, "'How about if I play left handed?" The guy thinks about this for a minute, then agrees. He is demolished in 8 moves, and is inconsolable for the rest of the journey. On landing he meets his friend, who asks him how the flight was. "It was terrible," he says. "Completely humiliating. I played chess with Garry Kasparov and he beat me in spite of him playing left-handed!" His friend replies - "Ha! You were swindled! Dude, Garry Kasparov is left-handed!!"

Yes, very good all. Love the Kasparov joke.
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."

what shows that women have more power over men?
chess...THe queen can move any amount while a king can only move 1 space.
At some tournament where smoking wasn't allowed, he played a game against GM Vidmar. During the game Vidmar pulled out a cigarete and put it next to the board. Nimzowitch immediatelly protested. The arbiter was a little bit confused and said: "But your opponent isn't smoking."
Nimzowitch: "Of course he isn't, but he is threatening that he will!!"

Two chess players were playing a correspondence match, one lived at the north pole, one lived at the south pole. Every 6 months a small piece of paper with the other players' move would be delivered. Now the player at the south pole was eagerly anticipating his opponent's move, for they had just reached a particularly complex position in the Sicilian Najdorf. And at last, one day some dogs arrived bearing the move. He took in a deep breath as he opened up the envelope:
"J'adoube."
