The centuries-old game of chess underwent many changes in its early years, with many pieces evolving or disappearing until the game took its present-day form. One piece eliminated was the dalmatian, which due to its black-and-white coloring was allowed to traverse any square on the board, but mainly just kept knocking over the other pieces.

“I gotta confess something, Phil; I’ve never liked trees all that much. Yeah, I know, we’re supposed to chew ’em and all, but something’s always been a little off for me. Too bland, too many splinters, I dunno. But that cedar we had the other day — now that was a tree. Moist, great aroma, full-bodied with a clean finish… Hadda stop myself from eating the whole thing, yanno?”
