IF YOU THINK FOOTBALL FANS ARE BAD…


A large chess tournament was held in New York City. The matches were held in a conference room in a hotel. The chess buffs arrived early at the hotel each day. They would gather in the entry way and talk with fellow chess fans. Mostly, they would talk about how well they played the previous day. Or they would try to intimidate their opponents by mentioning secret moves.


A few days into the tournament, the hotel manager shooed all of the chess players away. He said he had had enough of chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
