Chess Now! (Not!)
This hilarious piece of public-access sh*t came to my attention via Greg.
The brilliancy prize goes to the establishing shot of a chess board set up and ready to go… only the bishops and knights are reversed! Runner up is the cracked-out, non-bra wearing guest host Tana. In her own words, "And let me tell you, friends, I don't know how to play chess." She's not kidding. Listen for her response to the question, "If the kings make it to the opposite side of the board, does the first king to make it win the game?"
If you love chess, you owe it to yourself to watch this video.
Chess Now is a live call-in chess show with online play. Tune in to the Manhattan Neighborhoood Network every other Thursday at 5:30 pm. During live shows, there is a 212 New York number you can use to call in to speak to the host and make game moves. Chess Now! homepage

FYI. The video above is episode one. I just watched episode 13 (27 September 2007) to see if the show got any better. I’m happy to report that it hasn't! Though the bishops and knights are no longer reversed, in the chess game they ask us to play, Black has two white Bishops!
