My favourite chess joke is the cartoon of a chess master giving
a simultaneous exhibition, walking around and playing several
dozen at one time. A couple is watching him in awe, and the wife
turns to the husband and says:
"I don't know how he does it. My feet would be killing me."

Some of the following come from the book "Chess Catechism (sp?)":
Guioco Piano: Playable but not as good as a Steinway.
Dodd Gambit: To be used when it is realized that the opponent will probably
win the game that you are in. To play it you firmly grasp the chess
board and with one upward motion fling the board and all remaining pieces
into the air while shouting out "Dodd Gambit!!!!".

Heard this the other day: There are several variations on the game of chess. One recent variation to appear is called "South African" chess. The rules are the same as regular chess with the following additions: 1. Black is to play with his hands tied behind his back. 2. It is always White's move.
