A man was travelling by train and he had a chessboard in front of him and was studying a game.
His fellow passenger was looking at him and said.... "ah you play chess, that 's nice let us play a game. " The man replied " I have to warn you beforehand, I am a very strong player in the town where I live people call me the little Euwe. " His fellow passenger smiled a little and replied "Oh well lets see how it goes". They started to play and little Euwe was loosing in a terrible way. After resigning he said " I do not understand , how can you play so strong" . His opponent replied "Well they call you the little Euwe and you played not bad, but you lost because I am the big Euwe"
Hi all! I was listening to GM Yasser Seirawan and IM Hans Bohm who were talking about the games on the radio. I didn't listen all of it but I did catch a funny joke... okay let's start! Oh and this is not meant offensive to wards anyone but I just thought it would be nice to share! If it's too offensive please tell me!
One of GM Yasser Seirawan's friends was organizing a RoundRobin Tournament and was inviting GM Igor who came from Russia.
Yasser's friend: "Hello Igor! I'm organizing a Roundrobin tournament and I'd like you to come!"
Igor: "yu-us"?
Yasser's friend: "And there will be a 20.000 dollar prize fund!"
Igor: "yu-us?"
Yasser's friend: "Your flight will also be booked!"
Igor: "yu-us?"
Yasser's friend: "Also we'll look after hotel and food!"
Igor: "yu-us?"
Yasser's friend: "Also free drinks!'
Igor: "FREE DRINKZ???? Igor will come! Igor will play!"
