We were on a vacation trip about 5 or 6 years ago. Staying at a timeshare/condo. Wife and I are browsing through the game room where you can also rent games/DVDs. Guy is there setting up a chess board - looks up and says do you play. I say a little, but it's been a while - and he asks if I'll play. He takes 1st move - I start my play with the first move of what is known as the Scholars Mate. I take the game in 4 moves. It was pretty funny.

Aha this must be what happened to me the other day! I just signed up at chess.com for some brain exercise and managed to lose a game in just a few moves. I was like 'ok let's see what I want to do next' and bam the game was over!
I know this is an old thread but it surely does illustrate what a great resource Pelican is for so many things. Not sure how long I'd have gone before I learned about this otherwise.
