Chess and the show

[MattSilver 3k]

Is anyone else as impressed as I am by Rush's wood carving skills? Especially considering that he working with that big knife - you go, dude.

I feel my prediction will eventually come true - someday, it will be Rush that knits Young his new socks. And then there will finally be peace and happiness on board Destiny!

Sounds like a slash fiction:
Socks and Wood: The OTP Story of Colonel Everett Young and Dr Nicholas Rush

Whistles innocently while making notes . . .

(And also, snicker, you said "wood" . . .)

I know, and now I can never take that back.

I think 50 years from now theyre gonna be kirk and spock, but for now theyre trying not to kill eachother and find some common ground. Imagine in season 5 we get an ep where they meet young and rush from season 1 and are all WTF were bff now

Don't assume Rush would be a better chess player due to his educational background, chess is taught in many military schools, so military officers are more likely to be above average players.

I have never had any formal training, but when i first enlisted, i routinely beat our officers in the ships chess club (though i always seemed to get my ass handed to me by three of our MS's)

Spoiler:

The teaser for the next episode indicates Rush is going to put his hiney on the line in the Ancient download chair. I imagine that will get him some points with Young as I think part of Young's beef with Rush is Rush's inability to sacrifice himself for everyone else. Rush is doing exactly what Young challenged him to do. I can't wait to see where that goes.

I was finally cheering for rush when i saw the previews..

That might be. Heck remember in the initial SG film, oneil hated daniel, but look how friendly they were by the end.

I wonder, with whom Rush was planning to play originally? Surely, not with Young I very much doubt, one of his colleagues, scientists, had been on his mind either… Maybe I am wrong here though.
Just can’t imagine Rush walking through the door with chess board and pieces and offering a friendly match to somebody – it has to be a friendly gesture, right? Friendly Rush, for God's sake!

… Perhaps with himself?

Yes, but it was a very, VERY long time ago. I feel now like I need to re-watch it It was a great movie, I remember that

[Kermee]

Who do you think brought a chess board on Destiny...Rush or Young?
My bet is on Young.

[carmencatalina]

I think neither of them - hence the fact that Rush is making chess pieces. The board itself is easy enough (paper will do in a pinch).

[Pharaoh Atem]

I wonder what Greer's game of choice is. Russian roulette?

i'd say football

Of course Rush could be practicing his knife skills for the next time he and Young go head to head...
