"I don't know how to play chess, but to me,…

“Life is like a game of chess. I don’t know how to play chess” is a saying that has been printed on many images. That is, the speaker does not know about life, either.

“If life is like a game of Chess.. I’m fucked cause I dunno how to play” was posted on X/Twitter by Benni Atchison on April 29, 2009. “life is like a game of chess (IDK HOW TO PLAY CHESS YET)” was posted on X/Twitter by 🔴 Live Now! On 👾 Twitch🎥🎙🔴 on August 7, 2009.

The film Exit Through the Gift Shop, about French-born Los Angeles-based street artist Thierry Guetta (Mr. Brainwash), opened at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2010, and in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2010. “I don’t know how to play chess, but to me, life is like a game of chess” is a Thierry Guetta quote from the film.

“Sarcasm is like a good game of chess. Most people don’t know how to play chess” is a related saying. “Life is like a helicopter. I don’t know how to operate a helicopter” is a similar saying.

Wikipedia: Thierry Guetta
Thierry Guetta (born January 31, 1966), best known by his moniker Mr. Brainwash, is a French-born Los Angeles-based street artist. According to the 2010 Banksy-directed film Exit Through the Gift Shop, Guetta was a proprietor of a used clothing store, and amateur videographer who was first introduced to street art by his cousin, the street artist Invader, and who filmed street artists through the 2000s and became an artist in his own right in a matter of weeks after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy.

Wikipedia: Exit Through the Gift Shop
Exit Through the Gift Shop is a 2010 British documentary film directed by street artist Banksy. It tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles who, over the course of several years, filmed a host of street artists at work, including Shepard Fairey and Banksy, but failed to do anything with the footage. Eventually, Banksy decided to use the footage to make a documentary, which includes new footage depicting Guetta’s rise to fame as the artist “Mr. Brainwash”.
