 Subject: Extreme ChessMessage: Inspired by David Letterman's affirmation, "There just isn't enough televised chess," I thought we might brainstorm some ideas for making chess televisible. Extreme Chess is just one possibility. Episode One: All participants jump from a plane and commence play in free fall; the brilliancy prize is a parachute. Ideas for further episodes, or alternative series, are welcome. |

| tertsius 4/06/2005 14:51:08 [ report this post ] | parachutes are for sissys Message: only real men play hurtling to earth chess with bounce boots, parachutes are passe. |

| tertsius 4/07/2005 12:35:15 [ report this post ] | I like the idea similar to Message: the game Minesweeper. All 64 squares are mined and you make a bad move, well you will be playing the harp ;-0 I have a problem getting those speedo's to fit even though they are made of expando lycra, something to do with building a shed for the tools :(( |

| nobodyknowmypain 4/09/2005 08:56:03 [ report this post ] | I'd bet my money Message: "Celebrity Chess-Deathmatch, 1 match Bush vs Castro." I'd bet my money on Castro, even with the black peices, there's no way Bush is beating Castro at a game of chess. |
