Grotesque (chess)
In chess, a grotesque is a problem or endgame study which features a particularly unlikely initial position, especially one in which White fights with a very small force against a much larger Black army. Grotesques are generally intended to be humorous.
Famous quotes containing the word grotesque:
“I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation.”
—Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)
