How about elevator chess. Install a touch pannel display. Allows one move per elevator ride, and doesn't allow illegal moves. Or maybe waiting room chess.
Stimulating post, Stacy. Thanks.

Have the tiles lite up when you make a move then go dark so chess is not the main theme of the shower.

I like the idea of one shower / one move. But that can change if you are building or remodeling the bathroom. Like some chess boards, the tiles could be semi translucent with back light.
I've contacted them. We'll see.
....Qxc4 (black should still lose)
the orientation of the board makes suspicious of their chessecisity
LOL
I think it's a great idea. One move every shower. You'd probably need a suction -cup board as well since the odds of chess players having 64 perfectly alternating tiles the right size to go with your pieces is statistically small.
i like the toilet one. you can make a move everytime you go, providided your opponent has gone since. i think its a great idea because i am that much of a geek.
that would be awesome. i'd take multiple showers a day when it started getting interesting.
Very romantic idea...to play with your partner in the shower! LOL!
Radio in the shower. Chess in the shower. Why not a wine rack and nice roaring fire?
Or maybe we could just wash up and get on with our lives. Haha
after the intense electric shock, CPR, hospital stay, and ruined computer..i learned that ...
cheaters never win.

Hey, Stacy...draw up some plans, and sell it to a toy company.
Why wait for someone else to invent the thing?
I got an e-mail from that company that was selling the pieces with the suction cup for the shower...they don't make that anymore. Hmm...I may contact a toy company.
Strength: you won't mind touching the pieces because they're always clean.
Weakness: you won't want to leave the shower area.
Opportunities: pieces can be used as bathing sponges.
Threats: the Knights can be rather pithy.

No, you play correspondence style. So if you share a bathroom with somebody then you make a move when you take your shower and they make a move when they take their shower. The time required to take a shower and to make a chess move aren't that different given the distraction of trying to bathe and calculate at the same time. I guess the game would take a month or two to play.
You should shower more often :P

Don't blame Loomis. His roommate is a pig.
you can make the tiles in the bathroom just like they make chess computers. With magnets I think. Then the computer can play with you. But the idea of another person in the bathroom sounds more fun than computer chess.
