In the most recent edition of Viz, there is a two page article on The Lewis Chessmen. It's funnier then the last time they wrote about chess but definitely not hilarious.

Presumably three other people "chose" to be King, Queen and Pawn. Do tell.

It was only them. There are three other different pieces about the lewis chessmen and some silly puzzle. Amusing in places but that's about it

Do they still have Sid the Sexist?
I'll bet that's too much now for the Snowflakes society.

The 'silly' puzzle MJM mentioned. The Black Knight has to capture all the White pieces, which will remain unmoved, in any order, in the least amount of moves.

Not for the most part laugh out loud funny, but I've also read quite a lot worse (even in Viz)
