Very fun chess facts


Some people play really fast chess. "Chess", but still impressive




Another fun fact: chess players are weird people and we have a 36-page dissertation of a meme opening. The worlds best player has played a variation of it in an online tournament. We call it the Bongcloud Opening, Transvestite Variation Cause you swap the position of the king and the queen.


The current record for simultaneous blindfold games is 48 games at the same time. An illegal move loses the game immediately. He won 35, drew 7 and lost 6 of those games and it took him slightly more than 19 hours to play the games.


We also have weird opening names like the Berlin wall, the Fried Liver attack or the hyper-accelerated dragon.
