Save me, /lit/. My boyfriend's birthday is advancing, and I want to buy him a book. Or more than one. He's in love with chess, and I think that it would be a really sweet gesture if I got him a book that had an actual storyline that involved chess.
Yes, I've been on wikipedia and looked at the page "Chess in Art and Literature." Apart from The Defense by Nabokov, I didn't see much that struck my fancy. And I've done all the google searches.
So, I come to you out of respect, humility, and hopefulness. Does /lit/ know of any literature involving chess?

OP: Most serious chess players don't really care for literature about chess. Playing chess is like trying to bullshit your way through a really hard math test. It's not really very literary. This could easily go over as a "clueless gf" kind of gift.

Look, just because the guys on 4chan are fat neckbeards dosen't mean that the girls on 4chan aren't dirty little sewer-rat girls with bad hygene.

All I was suggesting was just that OP wash regularly, exercise, wear clean clothes and learn not to make her face look like she's auditioning for Ringling Brothers.

She's right you know. Women have the potential to be every bit as psycologically and emotionally strong as men.

It's just that that potential is seldom fulfilled once women realize that's it's far easier to just coast by with their tits and vaginas, throwing temper tantrums, crying or pouting everytime something doesn't go their way. Works everytime!

Only the fat and/or ugly ones every develop any maturity or mental fortitude-- because it's that or nothing for them. They have to either put up or shut up, because floating through life on their looks is just not an option. This makes them smart and interesting, but so bitter and hateful that no one wants to be around them except other fuglies. And all their cats.

This is the reason women are worthless in general, as well as why they are such terrible writers. There's no point being mad about it; if you're a woman, and these basic, obvious truths piss you off, it's really up to you to do something about it.

>> No.1272289

I'm sure you're enjoying living in your personal fantasy world, where women are worthless and terrible writers and have never done anything for society.

The rest of us, however, are living in the real world. It's completely pointless to try and get to you the inanity of the argument that 50% of the world's population is useless. If you really believe that, you're really too stupid to function and I'm not sure how you've managed to stay in this bubble so long.
