That's some high quality grammar for a school. Also, roaming chess gangs sound kind of badass and I'm interested in learning more.

Ain't no way? Read about chess drama, both in history and today. Average chess toxicity makes league of legends voice chat seem tame in comparison. It was even a proxy for the cold war for a while.

All they do is be bisexual, eat hot chip, play chess, and lie.

Hey, that's the chess club, not the pirate chess club (although they do seem to behaving like a bunch scurvy pirates...).

"roaming Chess gangs" an AnarchyChess classic. I think the Old Reddit page still references this meme.
