Chess Invented By…
It was invented by a big shot ROOKIE BISHOP who thought of himself as the GRAND MASTER, and he lived in a CASTLE with a KING and QUEEN who had 8 RANKS of HORSES, but he failed to grasp, even EN PASSANT, that he was but a PAWN in their hands. While overseeing the Royal treasury he was very casual, especially with wages. It is alleged that, as an OPENING GAMBIT, he once handed over old currency to the senior KNIGHT while shouting “here is your CHECK, MATE”, to which came the COUNTERGAMBIT retort “its also a little STALE, MATE”
