Chess Puns for Pawn Stars
A page of chess puns and game-related humor from a keen amateur chess-player.
Chess is a tricky game.
Last time my rook was sacrificed, got forked by a horse, saw a pawn turn into a queen and a bishop mated the king.
My opponent said "checkmate".
I'm not his mate.

That was a quick game.
It started poorly, lost its way in the middle and the end result was inevitable.
