Marine Parade Town Council says - You cannot play chess here!

This is hilarious!  So hilarious I thought I should share with all of you.  Marine Parade Town Council has decided that a certain block in Haig Road shouldn't be playing chess as there had been complains about the noise level.  When the poster was first noted, it did not state anything about noise level.  It simply tells the residents not to play chess.  And my thought was "hey, chess is such a cultured game....why cannot play?".  I can only guess that this is a really abstract poster....you need a super artistic mind to be able to 'read' the underlying message.  Chess is like war except that it's more civilised. You kill your opponents in the game instead of killing them in the field. So perhaps, MPTC is trying to use chess to show the residents that war is not right, it depicts violence, bloodshed, war cries, hatred...etc. Thus no playing of chess in common areas probably means no violence?  That's really profound...took me a few days to figure out!


Whoever came up with this idea is a genius but not everyone knows how to decipher a deep message like this.

Anyway guys, let's go there and play mahjong or whacko since chess is not aloud....I mean allowed!
