The big question on everyone’s lips in the chess world these days is ‘What can chess players get from glue sniffers’ right?
To answer this, let’s look at the first line in the chorus of the song 3rd floor by the American thrash outfit Death Angel. ‘Welcome to the third floor, it’s a one-way trip then they lock the door’.
Take a look at this fellow:
Further discussion of this (I am an amused contributor) can be found here:
I asked there, which is the best floor in a hotel to sniff glue on, similarly, which floor of a building is the best floor to play chess on? To some degree this depends on whether you want to sniff some glue whilst playing and how high you want to go. Unfortunately FIDE has not presented us with any statistics on what percentage of chess players are glue sniffers, although the word on the street is approximately 70%. If true, then the safest floor must be the ground floor…not the third floor because (on the glue) it’s a one-way trip! If not true how high up do you want to be when you play chess? Top floor maybe? Whatever your answer may be, if you like to sniff glue whilst playing chess, I recommend you play chess on the ground floor!
