Latest edition of Viz

[MJMcCready]

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.

That's just a bit of it.

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

[MJMcCready]

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

[Jon Mahony]

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

[Matt Mackenzie]

Dunno why that should be the case, its not as if he often got his way was it

[Geoff Chandler]

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.

[MJMcCready]

I think the answer is 11 isn't it?

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