The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 19, 2021

Tell me you feelings … just get it off your umm chess.

He also has nightmares about being in THE GODFATHER.

He’s in a beknighted state.

Once a king, always a king. But once a knight is enough!

It’s an occupational hazard. Goes with the gig.

At least your not someone’s pawn…good knight!

Well my good knight. I suggest you change thing up. Try going two steps forward and one step sideways every now and then.

Dancing to his own Disco.

Get it of you “chess”, Knight!

Some times you might need to take a step or two back and then move to the side.

I prefer to think of a knight’s move as one step forward, backward, or sideways and then one step diagonally.

But if anything gets in your way you can walk right over it.

And thanks for letting me get all this of my chess

Gonna be a looong knight.

The shrink’s a little board.

Look on the bright side. At least you’re the front end of the horse.

It’s not your mane problem, is it?

But he can also go two squares forward and one sideways….

My diagnosis is your are Zugswang’d

Sounds like he’s caught in a Knightmare scenario.

“Mongo only pawn in game of life”

I think we solved the problem about your mother, no use beating a dead horse.

I’ve known a few people who live their lives like that.

Move to Chicago, you’ll fit right in. Almost everybody uses the El there.

Break on through to the other side.

actually it’s one orthogonal step, and one diagonal step, but whose counting

At least you’re able to bust a move now and then.

It must have taken him forever to get to his appointment with the bizarre route he would need to take, sliding along.

You tried 2 steps sideways one step forward for a change?

Just try to keep things in check.

You’ve been rooked.

I wonder if he pays him by check.
