Stop Doing Chess
STOP DOING CHESS • OPENINGS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN NAMES • YEARS OF THEORIZING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for PLANNING THE ENTIRE OPENING • Wanted to plan the opening anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “THINKING” • “Yes please give me the ELEPHANT. Please give me the the Cum Gambit” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Chess players have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the boards & pieces we built for them (These are REAL Openings, theorized by REAL Chess Players) ????? ??????? ???????????????? “Hello I would like Slav Defense: Modern, Alapin Variation, Czech, Krause, Wiesbaden, Sharp Line please” They have played us for absolute pawns
A satirical faux-infographic attacks the elaborate names and theoretical complexity of chess openings. It jokes that chess players demand respect for absurdly specific opening variations, while the phrase “played us for absolute pawns” turns chess terminology into a pun about being manipulated. The meme is used as a reaction to unnecessarily complicated jargon or over-theorizing.
