If there's one thing the chess world needs, it's an infusion of irreverence. Why do I think that? I don't know, but it sounds reasonably plausible, non? Anyway, enter Pawnpusher -- a site with a section dedicated to the eradication of inaccurate chess metaphors ("croquet -- it's chess on grass"), a site featuring Chess Pride t-shirts, a site willing to expose Garry Kasparov's facial similarity to Pete Sampras and Vinny Testaverde.

I dedicate this post to Bud -- the student who, in deeply archetypal fashion, surpassed his teacher. Although I don't recall the archetype saying anything about surpassing within six months, but there you are.
