Chess joke
My kids have been playing Runescape for a few years. Recently the folks behind it, Jagex, have added a site devoted to games, FunOrb, and I've been playing rapid chess there myself (online games against other humans.)
Is this joke original with me, or did I hear it somewhere?
Two great chess masters sit down to play a game. White opens with pawn to king four (e4 for you youngsters). Black silently studies the board. Minutes go by, and after an hour Black tips over his king and says "You have an unbeatable position."
I suspect that nobody who is not a mathematician or computer scientist would find this funny.
