I have read everything he has written. I can't really pick one favorite but Kavalier & Clay is one of his best.
Sorry to take this thread OT. Back to Bengals and chess. . .
Rumor has it that Awuzie demands to be called "Grandmaster Flash" in the locker room.

a girl I work with from the Philippines became a chess master online in a much shorter time than I expected.

I was taught at a young age. Really do enjoy the game but like someone else mentioned screw playing it online.
That said I haven't played in years cause who has the time to sit down and play it LOL

Americans have too little respect for The Crown to fully embrace chess.
As for playing chess...let's just say that i don't see you guys rating the kind of mate I'm contemplating.

So we'll let you watch. We will invite you, but the queens we use will not excite you.

Good on Chido, not an easy game. He must be very patient which is a great thing to have, patience.
I am alright at Chess, but then I get impatient lol

It is very easy to figure out players who are moving Chess pieces, the problem is when the player knows why he is moving them.

I'm going to have to re-watch The Queens Gambit.

Joe is coming for Chidobe. He said they've played twice. The first time he got beat pretty badly. 2nd time he put pressure on him. 3rd time, he said will be different...he had that look in his eye. Joe does not like to lose
RE: Bengals chess champion - Sled21 - 01-11-2022
I like to watch them play speed chess.

Chidobe Awuzie says he hasn’t lost in Chess to anyone on the team, including Joe Burrow #Bengals

You definitely are the board's version of Adam Schefter.
This is a cool share as I remember Chido taunting "the board" when he first arrived. I guess he backed up his talk.
RE: Bengals chess champion - Sled21 - 01-12-2022
Chido talks shit about chess and beating Burrow, Burrow destroys him in 3 moves....
RE: Bengals chess champion - TecmoBengals - 01-12-2022
At Burrow's press conference yesterday he acknowledged losing a game but also putting pressure on him in a follow up game. Burrow mentioned he thinks their future games together will have different outcomes. It was all in good fun and it seems to be a locker room thing they enjoy, but you couldn't help sense Burrow is ready to beat Chido in the spirit of competition.
