No Queen sac today
by WorstPlayerEver
May-07-18

All my hope has faded away
The lady stands forlorn
A symbol of the dawn
No Queen sac today
It seems a common sight
But people passing by
Don't know the reason why

According to some sources, the term "bald-faced lie" comes from the fact that businessmen in the 18th and 19th century wore beards to make it easier to disguise their facial expressions while making deals (whereas you must be particularly good at lying to do it "bald-faced").

(to the tune of "Did I Remember," hit song from 1936) by beatgiant

Did I remember to tell you I play chess,
and I am livin' to kibitz alone?
Did I remember to say I'm here all day,
and just how carried away with GMs' play?
Chess was on my screen and that was all I knew,
Posting a mate in 2, what did I say to you?
Did I remember to tell you I play chess,
And pray forever more the site's online?

"I went frantically mad with chess. I bought a chess-board. I bought Il Calabrese. I shut myself up in my room and spent days and nights there with a will to learn all the games by heart, to cram them into my head willy-nilly, to play alone without end or remission. After two or three months working in that fine way, and after unimaginable endeavours, I went to the Cafe with a lean and sallow face, and nearly stupid. I made a trial, playing with Monsieur Bagueret again. He beat me once, twice, twenty times." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau
