Samuel Loyd (January 31, 1841--April 10, 1911), born in Philadelphia and raised in New York, was an American chess player, chess composer, puzzle author, and recreational mathematician.
As a chess composer, he authored a number of chess problems, often with witty themes. At his peak, Loyd was one of the best chess players in the U.S., and was ranked 15th in the world, according to chessmetrics.com. His playing style was flawed, as he tried to create fantastic combinations over the board, rather than simplifying and going for the win.

Hmm looks to me like the white queen wanted some black king dick. So the slut snuck out. But the priest (bishop) caught them and told the white king. So this is how the war started. Now their in the middle of a divorce.

@Rizzy55 thats only because u cant play the game, probably.

[Rizzy55]

I played about 5 chess games in my life....I probably finished 3 of them and I solved this easily so please dont get too proud.

About the narrator....Holy crap ! Its like he's falling in and out of consciousness. Adorable though

Anyway, I think I'll try a bit more chess...I guess the problem for me is the game gets so boring 3/4's of the way through.

RVD420: I didn't figure it out. To me, no Sam Loyd problem is child's play. Anyway, I suppose, by your suffixal digits, that you are J/King anyway. There was a mate-in-2 in the 1800s that took the chess world 10 years to figure out. out. Nowadays, a 25.00 Scisys could do it in 3 seconds.
