Yes, I do like Chess alot. I haven't played it in a long, long time. I don't even think I have a chess set anymore..I've often considered getting a computer Chess game..Maybe that's the way to go..

I'm not too good at chess, but I still love the game. My favorite variation is the

one-sided reflexive game (I think that's what it's called) - the player plays both sides of the board, but only uses one set of pieces, visualizing the opponents pieces in his head.

Of course, it's not as good at developing skill as playing a better opponent, but it's a great way to relax.

I voted Yes, but I haven't played in years. :)

I love chess. I was member of our local chess club 20 years ago but never had been so good at it.

 

But I still love the game, unfortunately I do not have someone to play with. Anyone interested in a far distance game via PM/e-mail? But I have to warn you I have forgotten lots of my knowledge about the theories on openings and endings

one of my favorite games of all time is Chess. It's not as difficult to learn as you may think. I've only been playing for about four years, I learned from a friend of mine when I was in high school.

[Yillara Skye 1]

Yes, I do. I actually like playing chess a lot. I used to play it when I was in middle school, but the club met on a day I could not go because of gymnastics practices. Also will play against my sister, brother and mother.

I like chess, I used to be quite good. I'm more of a backgammon player now. Any other backgammon players on the site?

[KIMIMELA 1]

No, it is really boring.

I don't mind it, but I don't have anyone to play it with

I used to play all the time in the service. I'm not terribly good at it, however.

I sometimes play chess on my old Playstation.

[Vulcan_lover 1]

I like chess, I never really get a chance to play it that much anymore. Oh, and I'm really, really super bad at it, I'm dead in like one move: It's actually pretty sad.

[sea trooper 0]

I know how to play, but I haven't done it in ages. I've only won once.

[Yillara Skye 1]

Any chess players here every play the computer variation, BattleChess? Where the game pieces become animated to move on the board and will go to a battle scene when you take your opponents pieces?

[krysis 2]

I have a chess game installed in my Palm and I would play chess on it whenever I'm at a meeting and it gets too boring to participate.

[DixonHill1989 0]

I like the game but I'm not very good.

[Valeris 2]

I learned how to play chess from my Dad, and actually got quite good at it. In elementary and middle school I was on my school's chess team and participated in several tournaments. I have not had as much time to play lately though, and I have forgotten a lot about stategy and the like, though I still enjoy a good game.

[jadziaezri 0]

yes for me. brought my partner a glass set for valentines day and we play often

[Stephen of Borg 2]

I love to play, but the strange thing is that since I have been playing, for over four years, I have never won a game

[Kor37 9]

I never learned how to play.

[youbroughtheryouRiker 2]

Like it, but don't play. I'm terrible at it. I almost never won against my brother, though I did quickly checkmate all of the boys my age in our club.

[Sheikhengku 0]

No

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

I like it, but I rarely meet someone else who does so it is hard to play.

[Wishfire 2]

I like chess. I used to play it all the time, but I haven't been able to play it in quite a while. The last time I played was at some gothic after party I ended up going to. I was rather bored, so I became the bartender. And to keep myself entertained I challenged various people I didn't know to games of chess. It was actually quite fun.

 

I like it, but I rarely meet someone else who does so it is hard to play.

 

Have you considered playing by email or PM? If I had a chess set right now I'd challenge you. Sadly, I don't have one right now. :P

It's a game that I've always wanted to learn, but never had the patience.

The basics are't really that hard.
