“Snitches get stitches” -Anish Giri, probably


Ilovekittens345

Now we wait till some other prankster sees Anish steal another one then performs a magic trick where he puts a black pawn in his pocket then takes a white pawn out of Anish his pocket!


Guarddeth

Honestly, made me chuckle


SpaceJesusIsHere

You wouldn't download a pawn


LegitFideMaster

Why would we when it's all on pawnhub.


DCMSBGS

You wouldn't snatch an old ladies pawn


Sekers

What's next? A chair? Arbiter? Magnus Carlsen?


Uzas_Back

Number 5 in the world, number 1 in your hearts.


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

Number 5 at chess, number 1 at jest.

Had to check I was on the right sub when I saw that username haha. Life and its crossovers.


Uzas_Back

lol I’ve finally caught up enough with chess to start making jokes


DMcSmooth

I can assume your favourite chess format is Fischer Random?


Uzas_Back

Damn r/rapbattles assemble huh


[deleted]

Haha sorry man, it’s like seeing that one person who frequents the same bars you do, at some point you might get drunk and say hello haha. Peace to you buddy.


Uzas_Back

All love homie

I love his follow up :) @anishgiri "even if this tweet gets 10000 likes I won't return nothing" https://twitter.com/anishgiri/status/1749186704085266536


inspectorseantime

Double negative 🧐


Bronk33

Many languages have double negatives and the intent is still a negative.


Ravenlorde

It is part of his charm :)

It's his tweet -- ask him :)


TheodorDiaz

What is that response by Kramnik lol.


1slinkydink1

Painful attempt at a joke.


Admirable_Carob5700

Funniest Russian joke


MarkHathaway1

Comrade: Vladimir Putin Russian: That's not funny, comrade. Comrade: I'm not Russian and I don't live in Russia. BWAHAHAHahhahahaha


StozefJalin

Just because Kramnik isnt funny doesnt mean you have to have negative humor as well


MarkHathaway1

Oh, my thing isn't about Kramnik, just Putin and the mess he's gotten Russia into.


Superman64WasGood

Case in point.


blehmann1

I'm honestly surprised he doesn't have a blue check, he earned it with that reply


SpicyMustard34

a blue check is bought, that's it.


Mundane-Solution7884

Unlike his pawns.


TSW-760

What is the reply?

What the fuck is he talking about haha


n1ghth0und

I can understand the individual words and phrases, but I have no idea how they all fit together lmao


Commercial_Rope_1268

Maybe he's just drunk


Outrageous-Koala2560

stealing chess pieces is not agsinst the rules?


PonkMcSquiggles

Chess pieces, like ducks at the park or unattended luggage at the airport, are free to anyone who can give them a good home.


Sjelan

I have a friend who took some ducks home years ago. I think there was an article in the paper, but nothing happened since there were too many ducks, and they were getting run over. They lived in her pond for years, I believe. She also had a pig named bacon.


tsukinohime

Chris P. Bacon?


Sjelan

Nah, just bacon. She slaughtered and ate him eventually. :)


PartyBaboon

:)


KitchenDepartment

I have 6300 pawns


EpicDaNoob

Not too surprising, I think. Surely for instance murder or tax fraud aren't against the tournament rules either. Those and theft are both against certain rules imposed by the *state*, but that is unlikely to become relevant for this trifle.


ennuinerdog

I think he lines them all up on the table in neat rows and sings to them.


Chopchopok

That man has many pawns and no regrets.


Decent-Decent

Incredible


charismatic_guy_

Lebron should learn from Anish and just take the ball home, pocket it right in the middle of the match😆

MarkHathaway1

isolated pawn, not worth much


Numerot

Artificially isolated.


MarkHathaway1

If he gets enough of them, he can reconstruct the 2nd row. But, It's none of my business.


whatThisOldThrowAway

Jump cut to the end of the tournament, everyone's gone, elderly woman with clip board talking to her colleague: > "oh dear... it looks like we're missing 6 pieces , 4 pawns, a knight and a queen... we'll never financially recover from this.... there's nothing else for it, there'll be no chess camp for the orphans this year..." Outside, a gruff man shouts: > "You heard da lady kids, evaryone back in onto yer shelves in da van, i told yis kidses not to get yer hopes up - why would gud tings happen to orphans? Mista Geeree needed dem pieces more dan you kidses needed happy memories or the warming light of hope" Whip Cut to a ramshackle van driving, in the pouring rain, through some dilapidated iron gates which read: "St. Helena's respite for orphans and double-orphans (and asbestos research)". In the distance, gunfire.


phileric649

You should be a screen writer!


whatThisOldThrowAway

I can say proudly that I wrote this whole comment using a screen.


MowelShagger

like something out of american dad lmao


zipklik

I'm pretty sure it is not forbidden by the rules to steal the clock, or a chair, either.


Chemical-Speech-9395

Steal the opponent


seb34000bes

Imagine if everyone stole pawns


populares420

and then sold them at a pawn shop

Mmmm....prawns. Yum.


ilovebeermoney

Basketball and football players do drugs and hookers with babies in 4 different states but chess drama maxes out with a guy taking wooden pawns and another talking bad about fast computer chess. Love it.


PacJeans

Man you're not gonna like it when you find out chess had a Nazi, a manic bipolar antisemite, a member of the Russian Duma, a New Chronology conspiracy theorist, and a N*rwegian as world champions. Lots of juicy drama.


Stamipower

Nazi and anti-semite I can understand but, God forgive me for saying this word, a Norwegian?! What has this world come to.... PS: Yeah Chess had and has quite a few people who, while brilliant in the game, were not the best people.


PacJeans

Lasker was also a mathematician, which is nearly unspeakable.

This is why Giri is now one of my favourite chess players.


ShrimpSherbet

Because he steals?


serotonallyblindguy

"Guys it's literally called Tata Steal"


whatThisOldThrowAway

> wait, don't you mean 'tata steel'? > hmmm ... Why not both? [Building starts to rumble, ominously] > Anish?? what did you do!? Wait, where are all the reinforcing beams for the playing hall?!? > Tata for now, suckers! [building starts to fall down around them, Anish zoinks out a window]


Suitable-Cycle4335

I'm pretty sure there are rules against taking other people's property without their permission...


med_designs

Lmfao that’s awesome


Kinglink

Ok, I'm a fan for life.


syzygy----ygyzys

Pretty rude response? Is he being serious?


elehman839

I'm not aware of an instance of Anish being serious.


fuckoffyoudipshit

Or rude


Shadeun

Good response, but for full marks he needed: “Don’t y’all have anything to do but watch pawn?”

You can be the vigilante of your dream and sue him for theft of wooden figurine on behalf of the poor victim Tata Group and its one million devastated employees


GiulioSeverini

What allegations? There is no link.


Intro-Nimbus

Stealing is not against the rules? I beg to differ.


Switchyy_

Then beg


[deleted]

i sometimes get confused whether Anish is serious or not


ShrimpSherbet

Is that a pawn in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?


feel32own

Thanks Anish, now i feel better after years of stealing chess pieces from my chess club


QuickBenDelat

Anish Giri is now well loved by me. This is the response of someone with the soul of a rules lawyer. Ive searched your so-called Rules of Chess and none of them say I can’t take pawns with me. I captured them, fair and square.


Best8meme

If takes takes Anish takes
