Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for June 02, 2022

He jumped to a conclusion.

For some reason, I think of the Godfather when I see this.

Glad I could get it off my chess.

He may have turned a corner, but will he go straight from now on?

A genuine case of “White Knight Syndrome.”

Seeing a horses head just really, really bothers me. And lying on a couch…!

It’s as clear as Day and Knight!

Dr.: Are you ready to make your move?

Knight: ‘L’ yeah!

But that’s what I always seem to be doing – I’m always turning corners. And I’m often jumping over things. What can I do about that?

I have a report on which I have to select as a staring date two weeks ago.

On the calendar that pops up the dates are arranged so I Knight’s Move will select this date: two dates up and one date to the left.

“The problem is, Mr. Knight, that you always take two steps forward and one step sideways. You need to be more direct!”

What corner is that doc?

I think he’s about to get rooked.

knights don’t turn corners, they move orthogonally and diagonally

He might be jumping to conclusions.

He just horsing around.

But he will never be on a straight and narrow path.

He may just be traumatized to what happened to his knight friend in the 1 and Done strip from yesterday

Does he shop at Knightsbridge?

Chess… the one game I understand the rules of completely… but I am horrible at playing.

Doc, I’ve been turning corners my whole life, but I never seem to get anywhere.
