Get the Chess master mug.A game that's a lot harder than you think it is.
The most underrated game in human history.
A game that has been completely fucked over by ignorant shitheads who spit dirt on the game that now has a reputation of being easy, that "it's just strategy."
Yes, they are right that chess is only strategy. I wonder why they haven't googled "best chess strategies" and become a world champion?
The complexity of the game is summarized best by Grandmaster Huebner: "Those who say they understand chess, understand nothing."

Chess Player: Hey do you play chess?
Non-Chess Player: No, but when I was in 5th grade I beat my teacher! Isn't that amazing?
Chess Player: Smiles and quickly walks away, thinking, "Why do others just can't understand that age has nothing to do with chess! Beating a 50 year old who played only two games in his whole life is NOT impressive compared to beating a 6 year old who've been playing for a year! Do they really think adults played fucking chess their whole life and are supposed to be better? In last tournament I got fucked over by a 13 year old and then beat six adults and got second place with $2,000 prize money. Oh, like this dumbass'll even let me finish that last sentence before he laughts his ass of."
