William of Orange is better at chess than me...and he's been dead for 300 odd years...
That has got nothing to do with taking the mickey!
I will take the piss out of everybody and anybody I feel deserving of such treatment. And since I hate humanity, alas, it includes you.
To answer your first question however...
When I was 11 (I was playing chess for 9 months back then), I won the Glasgow regional school chess championship.
Because I was only playing 9 months I was placed in the 4th catagory (if it makes sense to you, so be it, I don't have a clue what I'm on about), but I could easily win from the first catagory as well.
I won all 5 matches and St. Joseph's school Clarkson won the title for the first time.
So, after 20 odd years of chess-abstinace, I was hoping that after playing for 9 months I'd have the same skills at the game (and seriously, I thought I could kick everybody's arse).
It's not so.
I have grave difficulties getting over 1300 points and I've not made it over 1400 points in a whole year!!!!
This could be due to various factors.
The first being that internet chess is very different to face-to-face chess (presumably in this scenario, my mere presence is enough to win me the game and my ever sarcastic remarks during the game just serve me all the more).
The second being that I'm very distracted. Nowadays, unlike when I was 11, I'm constantly thinking of sex, working (which I don't want to do) to earn money (which I don't want to do) to become a healthy member of society (what is probably the least of the goals I've ever thought about).
The third is that the opponents were very bad during that tournament.
I'm in no position to judge either way.
The fourth is that, like my IQ, the shorter the time-limit, the better I score. I think fast and furious, but make a hell of a lot of mistakes. In real life this doesn't make too much of a difference, because speed is nearly everything and anything you do wrong, you can generally reverse. In chess, once you've done something, there's no going back!
Whatever the reason: I don't think I'm ever going to win a chess tournament again.
However, I am bloody excellent giving Cunnilingus. Which, in the long term (and let's be honest here) is probably a greater gift than moving pieces around a bloody board!
PS
It's not true. I'm crap at cunninlingus as well. But it did serve my argument for what it was worth...
