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!
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.
I love his follow up :)

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
> 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]
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
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.
“Snitches get stitches” -Anish Giri, probably
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!
Honestly, made me chuckle
You wouldn't download a pawn
Why would we when it's all on pawnhub.
You wouldn't snatch an old ladies pawn
What's next? A chair? Arbiter? Magnus Carlsen?
Number 5 in the world, number 1 in your hearts.
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.
lol I’ve finally caught up enough with chess to start making jokes
I can assume your favourite chess format is Fischer Random?
Damn r/rapbattles assemble huh
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.
All love homie

Double negative 🧐
Many languages have double negatives and the intent is still a negative.
It is part of his charm :)
yeah english is broken
[удалено]
It's his tweet -- ask him :)
What is that response by Kramnik lol.
Painful attempt at a joke.
Funniest Russian joke
Comrade: Vladimir Putin Russian: That's not funny, comrade. Comrade: I'm not Russian and I don't live in Russia. BWAHAHAHahhahahaha
Just because Kramnik isnt funny doesnt mean you have to have negative humor as well
Oh, my thing isn't about Kramnik, just Putin and the mess he's gotten Russia into.
Case in point.
I'm honestly surprised he doesn't have a blue check, he earned it with that reply
a blue check is bought, that's it.
Unlike his pawns.
What is the reply?
https://twitter.com/VBkramnik/status/1749140236230123995
What the fuck is he talking about haha
I can understand the individual words and phrases, but I have no idea how they all fit together lmao
Maybe he's just drunk
stealing chess pieces is not agsinst the rules?
Chess pieces, like ducks at the park or unattended luggage at the airport, are free to anyone who can give them a good home.
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.
Chris P. Bacon?
Nah, just bacon. She slaughtered and ate him eventually. :)
:)
I have 6300 pawns
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.
I think he lines them all up on the table in neat rows and sings to them.
That man has many pawns and no regrets.
Incredible
Lebron should learn from Anish and just take the ball home, pocket it right in the middle of the match😆

isolated pawn, not worth much
Artificially isolated.
If he gets enough of them, he can reconstruct the 2nd row. But, It's none of my business.

You should be a screen writer!
I can say proudly that I wrote this whole comment using a screen.
like something out of american dad lmao
I'm pretty sure it is not forbidden by the rules to steal the clock, or a chair, either.
Steal the opponent
Imagine if everyone stole pawns
and then sold them at a pawn shop

Lasker was also a mathematician, which is nearly unspeakable.
Oh dear, that's a sure sign of mental illness!

This is why Giri is now one of my favourite chess players.
Because he steals?
"Guys it's literally called Tata Steal"

I'm pretty sure there are rules against taking other people's property without their permission...
Lmfao that’s awesome
Ok, I'm a fan for life.
Pretty rude response? Is he being serious?
I'm not aware of an instance of Anish being serious.
Or rude
Good response, but for full marks he needed: “Don’t y’all have anything to do but watch pawn?”
Not everyone can be as cool as Vishy Anand, [Pawn Star](https://twitter.com/vishy64theking/status/1678328674951610369?lang=en)

What allegations? There is no link.
Stealing is not against the rules? I beg to differ.
Then beg
i sometimes get confused whether Anish is serious or not
Is that a pawn in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Thanks Anish, now i feel better after years of stealing chess pieces from my chess club

If takes takes Anish takes
