“Checkmate! I win!”
“You never said check so it’s not counted.”
“It is; my pawn took your king so I… Oof.”
“See even the chair agrees with me. You’re supposed to say check in the step before you go to take the king.”
“The chair was just broken, it doesn’t agree with you.”
“Whatever.”

I like how the unfortunate event with the chair became evidence in the argument.

Anything can become evidence in an argument, as long as you can prove it.

It’s the chair’s fault, LOL. I love that take.

The philophically great thing about chess is that you can never take the king. The game ends at checkmate, which is the move just before the king would be taken

Really? I always thought mate was when the king was actually taken. Guess you learn something new every day.

When all else fails, blame it on the inanimate object that can’t refute your ‘evidence.’ Nice one
