It’s not the same in real-life, phone addict!

Perhaps you could phone a friend.

If you see a knight start dancing, quickly get your doctor to check your medications!

“I’ll wiggle one for you then.”

“… and oh … by the way … ‘Mate’ in four moves.”

Of course since the phone is your opponent, it’s probably a ruse…

Online games do have advantages. In a hotly contested end game with time running out, it shows you where the king can move, while the other guy has to figure out how to avoid a stalemate all on his own.

His opponent looks understandably annoyed.

Training wheels

And – let me guess: You always win?

Hope you aren’t playing chess on the Deep Blue app.

If one of the apps on my phone starts wiggling, I have to be careful not to accidentally delete it.

Not exactly Bobby Fischer, is he?

Genuine Laugh Out Loud!
