Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I joined chess club in middle school. I lost my first game in two moves.

I didn't go back to chess club.

Ah, the "Fools mate". Rookie mistake! (/s i suck at chess)

That pretty much describes accurately how I felt, so maybe it should be called that.

There is a two-move checkmate that is called that, he wasn't making that one up. 😊
