My Immortal Game - versus Mahatma Gandhi

Beast719

My Immortal game was against Mahatma Gandhi - it was played in the first round of the “Knights in Prestatyn” Monsters of Chess Invitational in the foyer of the Municipal Library next to the town hall.

Gandhi was on a walking holiday in Wales and was staying in my Auntie Myfanwy’s static caravan on Barry Island.

What do I remember about the great man?

·         He walked everywhere barefoot and as we played he sat and picked bits of hard skin from the soles of his feet which he placed in an increasing pile on his side of the table.  When the pile was as high as his King he leant forward and blew the lot over the board – yeuch!

·         He appeared very frail and painfully thin sitting there in his loincloth probably because of his vegetable and goat’s milk diet.

·         Oh my god his breath – absolutely toe-curlingly,  minging.  Would it have hurt to have picked up a toothbrush?

I won the game with a crushing combination checkmate and on account of his non-violence approach where he steadfastly refused to take any pieces.

The headline in the next day’s Macynlleth Argus announced a new force in world chess.

Beast beats super-calloused fragile mystic vexed by halitosis

Are you not going to show us your immortal game? I'm disappointed. Frown

Must have been hard for him to read of his defeat. However, there is a way to make it easier to take...

Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.

 He wasn't a big user of cutlery

 It's a fine line we walk, but I was not going to let him win just because he was the big Mahatma.

not very immortal if it finished

Immortal because it is enshrined in history.  It nearly caused a diplomatic incident between Wales and India when I crept up behind him and wedgied his loin-cloth.

28. Qb7 is an illegal move.
