If There Is One Game,

that lacks humour,


in my book it must be chess, at least that is what I thought until today, image credit chess24.5/ YouTube, it happened like this, the Berlin Defence is usually used by grandmasters in order to draw a game, in this particular game, Carlsen and Nakamura both expected that their game would be a draw, but Carlsen had a better way of drawing the game than the Berlin Defense — the Bongcloud. As Carlsen (the white pieces) moved his king immediately in the game, Nakamura (the black pieces), taken by surprise, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Nakamura then accepted Carlsen’s invitation and moved his king, too, and if you do not think they found it funny,

look at their smiles in the YouTube video, I never thought chess could be that funny!
