16 People Who Are Playing Chess When We"re All Playing Checkers

I don’t know where they find the time or the energy, but some folks just seem prepared for anything. Every move they make was worked out well in advance and nothing seems to stop them from getting ahead. Even if we might look at a challenge and think it’s impossible, they’ll just shrug their shoulders and find a way around it.

So in those unlucky moments where we piss these people off, we might as well just accept defeat right away and keep it moving. Why? Well, any time we try to outmaneuver them, they always seem to be ready with a smug grin on their face.

Sure enough, we find that we played right into the hands of these 16 chess masters. And as DJ Khaled already told us, there’s no feeling worse than playing yourself.

1. Well shit, I never thought of that one.

And I guess they can’t dredge up any bad feelings if you don’t remember which dude it was.

2. You know you’re slick when even the teacher has to admit they got finessed.

3. OK, so this kid ended up taking an L, but give it time.

When they grow up, they’ll talk their way out of everything. They’ll probably still have to learn that Napoleon didn’t die in battle, though.

4. By the time she notices, he’ll probably be long gone.

Even if she does catch on, he’ll have a hell of a head start.
