chess in prison - where I am going

Well folks, I have recently been convicted of a crime. Tomorrow is my sentencing. It will be a minimum of 10 years in prison.

To be honest, I am a bit nervous. Not so much about dropping the soup, but whether or not I will get to play chess!

Does anyone know anything about chess in prison? Will I be playing chess? I might ask the prison warden if I can have a chess set in m cell, along with a few chess books, and possibly an Internet connection. I will let you know how it goes. Anyone here have experiences with chess in prison?

Well, wish me luck as I face the judge tomorrow.

I forget but I swear I've seen this exact thread before.  It got a number of responces too!

that thread is mentioned here 

What were you accused of doing? I know you didn't do it, but I'm just curious.

You're not crazy.  I remember someone made a thread like this.

Read post #3 which provides a link to the thread.

edit: there's a different thread besides the one mentioned that I think was the same as this one.

note to troll: too soon to recycle thread ideas. Give it a couple more years before everyone forgets.

I confirm that I read this exact posting a while back too!

"I might ask the prison warden if I can have a chess set in my cell, along with a few chess books, and possibly an Internet connection."

Don't forget to ask for a chess coach.

Just an update. I was sentenced to 15 years in prison early this morning. I just arrived at my new home around noon.

In regards to the chess, I managed to convince the warden about letting me have a chess set, some books, and an internet connection. To my amazement, he agreed and accomodated my requests :).

Now the next step is to play some games with the other inmates here. Wish me luck!

I was just convicted and sentenced, and you are worried about duplicate posts? If someone else was in the same situation as me, not my problem.

       The OP has tried this stupid thread before                                                             http://www.chess.com/forum/search?keyword=chess+in+prison

I remember it too. Maybe he's stuck in a time-loop?

i bet you got off easy.

He was accused of being a terrible chess troll. The evidence was damning. 

He was convicted by a hung jury   And now he's gonna be hung by a convicted jury

I even remember a very good advice: give always rematchs and never take en passant.

    He was known as the "checkmate bandit". He'd leave a chess piece at every bank he robbed. FBI patzers couldn't put the clues together.

Prisoner access to the internet? Like for a 15 year sentence? 

Tell me about the prison golf course. 

I asked the warden for a box of chocolate bon-bons and a near-mint condition copy of Fantastic Four #1. To my amazement, he agreed and accomodated my requests!

          15 yrs heh?.....   Must be his 1st marriage
