Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 11, 2022

Checkmate!

Picked a bad knight to get stopped.

“In case in haven’t noticed, ossifer, I can’t walk. I got no legs (hic).”

Fail!

Stop horsing around.

Not toknight.

He was having an L of a knight.

checkmate

If I have to pay a fine, do you take a check, mate?

How about if I walk in a straight line for a couple of steps and then step to the side?

Knight x cop

I will do you one better, I’ll walk in two straight lines.

It looks like his special moves might not get him out of this situation.

This is why the knight should always be the designated driver.

’I’m sorry, officer, I canter do that.’

A hazard of driving at knight.

My first laugh of the day – thanks!

Can the horse also get a ticket for performing an illegal move? Having already been pulled over for DUI?

Very clever.

Looks like it’s the L train home.

btw… a knight’s move is one orthogonal and one diagonal. (not an L)

Love it! Thanks for the laugh. Great way to start a day.

What if it were a bishop? Technically, they move in straight lines, just diagonal ones.

You can’t side step this. Nope. No horsing around

This just isn’t his knight.

Very creative, Mark!

He just got off the knight shift.

The cop must be a rook(ie).

I only do turns, officer. I can’t go straight.

Next up, move to a corner.

It appears, you’re going to have a bad knight.
