My first college roommate* and I played chess a couple of times. He beat me within a few moves both games. After winning the 2nd game he said to me (in jest): "That's called the Fools Mate. You know why it works on you?"

I haven't play since. This Really Bad Chess looks like it could be fun though...

I don't remember if he was a roommate or just a suite mate but I played a few times with a friend at school and he could beat me when he was blindfolded. I was "barely passable" at one point but I haven't played in years.
