SLiM: Chess Playing Blues

My brother, who will henceforth be known as Charles Babbage Jr, (for reasons I will not tell you, but you may look here if you want,) was playing Rabbim chess. (Charles Babbage Jr just happens to be a match for Rabbim, who is a lot older than him.) Rabbim was looking for a good move to make. As he was looking, he said to his opponent, “what I really want to do is put you in check, I just can’t.”

(Rabbim made a very sensible comment, as usual.)

Charles Babbage Jr. responded to this highly sensible statement with, “what you really want to do is put me in checkmate.”

Smart lad, he is.
