hey mastermind90 i thought it was a wedding too! but then i didnt know why they were fighting. lol
Why would only two ladies be at a wedding and why would they fight? The answer was obvious.
cute and easy!
That was a cute one!! I play chess sao I got it pretty quick...very cute
Good teaser, I got it right away
Very good - it makes perfect sense (even though I didn't guess it!). The only thing I could come up with was in the realm of the reality show "Bachelorette". Got me.
Very good Riddle! I didn't know the answer and I felt pretty dumb when I saw what it was. But something that's obvious without being so is the best riddle.
I have NEVER played chess before so it was really cofusing for me. sorry!
i play chess but i didn't get it. I thought it might be a bar fight
Didn't get it, but I liked it. One of these days I am going to get the hang of this. Thanks
I didn't get it either, but I liked it. One of these days I am going to get the hang of this.

Your brain teasers are the corniest I ever read. What makes them hard is that you have to think corny. Real brain teaser are suppose to make you think, not think of corny jokes.
cute, a bit easy but original.
I thought that was a way cool joke that of course I didn't get, but I don't really count.
TIGGHT AND AWSOME DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the Corn on the Cob award goes to...eyeroll please ... MEJOHN!!!
"What makes them hard is that you have to think corny..."
This riddle was extremely easy.
Though cleverly written. Nice try!

Awesome Awesome teaser. great workout for the brain. i enjoyed that one a lot!!...
Try this wording instead, It flows better.
Thirty men with ladies, two,
Standing 'round with naught to do,
Dressed in formal, black and white,
Urge them forward, start a fight.

great job!
Very easy. But, to make sure, I had to diagram it (a chess board) on paper. It's one of the BEST as far as I'm concerned. Definitely in the FAVORITES HALL OF FAME for me!!
Great job! I really liked this one.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Simple yet the rhyming made it great. Well done.
Well written! I don't care for riddles like this though, there are a number of varying answers. A bunch of aristocrats playing musical chairs comes to mind.
Good riddle! I didn't get it, but when I saw the answer, it was like one of those "oh yeah, I knew that!" moments
C'mon get real. Way too easy.
Not being a chess player, it wasn't easy for me. Enjoyed the poem, very well written. Thanks for posting.
that's clever..all i could think of was penguin mating season or something like that...
good one! I got it right!!!
Ditto!
Very easy, even my husband got it right, and he never even tries to guess.
I figured it was either this or cards, but cards has 52, not 32.
Nice quiz!
nice one. much on the easier side.
didnt we have a very similar one on chess a few days ago ?

I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LEARN CHESS. BUT THIS IS CUTE.. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH DANCING.OH WELL!!!!
NICE, but too easy, try a harder one next time!!!
Au contraire! From one who rarely gets riddles, I appreciate one I can get easily; I thought it was wonderful!
Great riddle
I love it!
I don't play chess either, but I know enough about it to have guessed correctly. However I thought the chess pieces came in all different colors. That almost threw me. My son's set was in royal costumes. What gives?
Babe - a standard chess set the pieces are white and black. However there are many specially boards you can buy. My one nephew has loved chess since he was about 4 years old and must have at least 10 boards, some have the standard puces, one has pieces that are at least 12' inches high, one has mythical creatures instead of the standard ones.
First guess was chess, then i thought of 32, but then the kings? great riddle.
Love this one
nice one friend figured it out heehee
I hadn't seen this one before. Interesting comments.
Fun and easy. Good work, my only problem is that the chess riddle concept has been done to death.
Got it almost straight away, however the punctuation in the first line threw me a bit!
Been nearly 50 years since my last game of chess.
Thanks!

Good riddle babyb. It took a few minutes, but then chess came to me. My initial thought was that it had something to do with a calendar, but the 2 ladies made no sense. Is the black and white a reference to today being "black Friday"? Just wondering....
I thought that was beautifully written and a lot of fun to guess at! Of course, my guesses were all over the place and not a single one was right, but it was still a lot of fun!
I play chess, so it was very easy
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I do not play chess but still got it easily.
