The International Chessoid
Tomorrow's Muse Today !

 
 

 

 

... Welcome! to our far-fetched forum for frivolous fantasies and the foolish face of chess.

We have scouted, scoped, scoured and scooped the World Wide Web for the best in chess jokes, stories, cartoons and photos - and were generally NOT AMUSED!

Forthwith, we have decided to create our own (mostly) disinformation (sometimes...) for your enjoyment (maybe?) and diversion (always!!).

New material will be posted here with erratic irregularity. Please check in with us periodically for the real skinny on chess...

A muse, yourself?

 Kiss the funny bone of the editorial goddess and become a valuable contributor to...

 

The International Chessoid !

If... you have a chess cartoon, joke, story, essay, or even an imaginary real-life experience you wish to expose to our shameless, news-greedy public - please consider outing them on our pages AND prepare to become instantly infamous!
