can monkey's play chess?

We've crossed the road and ended up off-topic here. Let's get back to monkeys....please ?

Oh !....Why'd the chicken cross the chessboard ?

Fate beckons.

(Burrrp)....What chicken ?

to play the orangutan.

TY ep....now we're getting closer to back on-topic....(smiling)

Apart from 1.b4 there's also

The following spectacular game is probably the most famous success of the Monkey's Bum Deferred and forced it to be considered with respect by the chess world:

LMAO

Good 1 AKAL1....

(Me thinking aloud: Is there any chess 'stuff' that relates to chickens ?....like the bok bok draw offer ?....the lay an egg blunder ?....The Ruffled Feathers Attack....okay I'll stop now - this's getting dumb)

Hess, canny smokey pal? (ha!)

[yes, I left out a "c"...seemed worth it for preserving the Hessian reference and having an anagram that makes some sense...purists can change the last word to "clap" if they need the "c".]

An speccy monk's lashes? And that has the apostrophe! However, bad grammar, but so what?

Wakah wakah wakah

in terms of IQ:

1. Humans

2. Chimpanzees

3. Apes

4. Monkees

Would you say that is an accurate ranking of IQ ?

What do you mean by "apes" and "monkees"? These terms do not refer to specific species, so no...I think that saying that this is inaccurate would be kind.

yes they can, just ask James May.

no

I believe that chimpanzee's could be taught to play chess

apes are probably very smart too and can play chess.

Monkeys, apes, and chimpanzees are very much related to humans.

Humans evolves from monkeys.  Then some monkeys were not smart and stayed as monkeys.  But the smarter monkees evolved into humans.

that is why we closely can relate to each other so well.

anyway, all this talk is making me want to eat a banana.

Other than humans, most apes seem to spend much of their day having "fun." Why spoil a good thing by playing chess?

in planet of the apes,yes

do the apes like eating bandanas ?
