Chess… an alternate universe?

Steve after his bizarre journey meeting the Queen…
It was discovered tomorrow that the game of Chess is not of this world. Many people have experienced strange reactions when playing chess likened to ‘visiting a Star Wars set only real’. It appears that when the first move, typically 1.e4 was made they found themselves whisked off the planet and playing against a very different opponent then they sat down with.
We spoke to a white faced chess player who had just come back from a game on ‘Alpha Centauri’ and he told us of his experience.
“It happened as soon as I moved e4, a flash and whirr of colour like a spiral and I felt myself falling. I blamed it on the MSG in the Chinese meal I had yesterday until I found myself seated opposite a strange blob that had no recognisable human attributes and smelled faintly of a concoction called ‘Gengo’ – a mix of genes and wormhole shavings.”
We played the game in silence (or so I thought) apart from the occasional colour changing of this creature which seemed to give me a feeling of euthoria especially when it turned pink.
When I captured it’s queen the blob disappeared for a couple of seconds and returned as an exact replica of Queen Victoria which quite frankly didn’t surprise me at all.
It tried to make contact with me at this point but I was overcome with a strange emotion that I had met my mother for the first time.
“The game progressed and the blob/Viccy won, which made it turn a shade of peachy green, I thought it was gonna be sick – I then felt myself sucked in a vacuum and before I knew it, I was back opposite my opponent!” He shuddered as if the temperature has just dropped.
So there we have it. Who’d a thought it? Chess really is a Universal game.
