Your move.

Time to mow down some pawns.

How old is Dad ant anyway? In human years, he’s and old coot.

I was playing Chess Titans just a bit ago. I wouldn’t keep a “game” console if one was given to me.

Check mate.

I need a chess game on my computer. A simple one, without the visuals. Maybe I should just get a set and play against myself…not with…

In New England our power is still out. Damn! My son may mate me in two turns.

3 dimensional chess doesn’t exist yet. Wait 2 more centuries.

Queen to Queen’s level three.

A queen in a chess game? Did they change something recently?

This strip is a very accurate assessment of kids (not all) and their video games today!

I’m on a medieval video game kick. Kohan: Kings of War, Stronghold, Majesty, etc. But not chess.

Turn up the music, pour a pot of coffee, jagged edges and worn out sense of humor, o.k., let’s play.

@Nab: my brother tried teaching me to play Squad Leader many years ago. I had a hard time with it. I’m just not cut out to be a military genius, I guess.

Thank you for not including all kids in your statement, abaffuto. My 8 year old (girl) LOVES chess and will happily spend a Saturday playing at a tournament. She also likes playing outside and reading anything that she can get her hands on. Admittedly, she enjoys video games, but that is a privilege that she has to earn and definitely doesn’t get daily.

Y’all rock like moon rockin’.

Have a good one BC’ers.

They could compromise and get that holographic chess-like game that R2D2 and Chewbacca were playing on the Milennium Falcon. Strategy plus splatterific special effects…

After reading comments posted for all the cartoons, I am beginning to see why this country is in trouble. Across dozens of cartoons the majority of the postings don’t make sense and the rest feel the need to explain the comic. It appears most people are on drugs, drunk, or just plain stupid.
