This email was originally written with a golf pencil in jail with a chess set made of mini deodorants in front of me…
The game I invented in jail is a combination of Chess and Beer Pong (without the beer)…
The name I chose for the game is: Sudden Death Beer Pong Chess
How it differs from regular chess is this:
Every time either player captures an opponents chess piece they get to take a shot at a Red Solo (or styrofoam) cup 8ft or so away…
And if they make the long shot they (almost) instantly win.
There are two ways to win the game:
Check Mate
Hitting the Long Distance Beer Pong shot
In either case the opponent has a chance for a redemption beer pong shot to either keep the game going or force a tie.
That’s the game.
It evens the playing field when the skill level between two chess players varies drastically…
Plus it’s more fun.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Garin

Great inspiration to start the Day!
Sudden Death Beer Pong Chess!
What you don't know is I used to be a champion QUARTERS player...hmmm
Amazing game of skill.
1 Quarter held between the thumb and pointer finger at an angle pointing to a whiskey glass of your favorite beverage. You must bounce the quarter off the table into the glass, then pick someone to drink it. Keep going until you miss a shot. Then next players turn. My friend Andrea and I would start a game at the Heiniken Pub in Heidleburg Germany. We soon drew a crowed and never paid for a drink!
CHEERS!
