Tonight, I played Chess...

[Pierre.Suave]

as I do frequently around here, and beat someone I have never beat before.

I am very proud of myself.

Who else plays chess here?

1. I prefer Bridge myself

congrats on your victory!

[Pierre.Suave]

2. Ah...Online

I have never played a serious game of chess online, I prefer playing a person across the table.

4. not easy to find 3 other people at 6AM that want to sit across the table with me in my jammies

:rofl:

3. I'ts been a LONG time since I've played

At one time I was a dinkum fair player- I once beat my BIL who fancied himself a master, and that was good enough for me.

6. Congrats

I feel good because this game was not close, it was a blowout.

I dominated.

7. Me.

Playing chess
online would be
blasphemy for me.
Dad taught me, beginning
at the age of 5.

[Pierre.Suave]

8. I agree

online is blasphemy.

10. I taught my dad when I was eight

Needed someone to play with. :) When I left for college he tried to teach my mom but she said that it just gave her a headache.

Used to play my uncle until I finally beat him when I was 12. He never played me after that. :(

Had friends I played with in JHS and HS and then just kind of got away from it. Met an Egyptian in Saudi Arabia who got me interested again. When he came here on a work visa we would play often.

It's hard to find players. I guess I could try playing online but that would take away from poker.

9. I used to

but then I started playing against people who actually studied it and knew what they were doing and it wasn't as fun anymore. :P

I preferred playing against drunk college kids. I'd blitzkrieg 'em and then show them how to block a blitzkrieg so they wouldn't fall for it again... then play a regular game. Then by that time they'd forgotten how to block the blitzkrieg, so I'd beat 'em a third time.

:evilgrin:

11. I frequently do too...

The computer always wins.

The only thing that's big and blue is me. :(

12. Me; play Big Bang Chess on my Imac

Plays pretty tough. My one gripe is that if I promote a pawn on the 8th rank to a queen, the program just locks up even if I'm in a losing position.
