Chess Now - episode 22

Two students as guests from Phil's school and we have our first legit lesson on Chess, featuring the board layout and rook movement.

thats ok needledick.

Sure, np pal~

I agree with what you're saying about NYC as well. I really can't believe that more people don't want to go on MNN to play chess haha. I wish I were a better player, I would definitely go on the show. I assume that it's mostly due to the very first episodes, which is understandable. I just think that Greg and Jeffrey took the show to a much higher level than it was previously at, with that in mind they should definitely be on the show more often.

Thanx 4 the kudos Qong! You're both right about getting serious players that can inform. The reason I end up in the guest chair is the scheduled guests vanish last minute (last minute commitments or stage fright)and I happen to be helping out behind the scenes. NYC is a chess town! Madison Sq. Park was home to one of the earliest chess exibitions in the USA! and Chess Now cant get players? WTF? Go for it guys!

I still think she should be in handcuffs or some other type of bondage. Especially wearing revealing cloths. My ultimate fantasy is her cuffed and getting whipped.

You're cool Phil, and the Checkerboard Kids is pro by the way.

But he's right. Chess Now seriously needs to get Jeffrey and Greg back on the show. They made the show informative rather than funny. Not that I dislike the funniness of the show at all, but I think if it were a bit more serious Chess-wise and educated the viewers while being funny at the same time, then it would be a much better show overall.

Chess Now invites everyone to come onto the show every week, so how about some "real" chess club players stop fronting and come down to the studio and be on the show. I'm all for chess education. I know my jokes are bad but I wasn't even on this episode so no need for player hating! Nyeah! Good point on the glass set comment tho.
