nik 0 Posted November 15, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stardreamer 1 Posted November 19, 2003 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted November 30, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted November 30, 2005 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.

Vulcan_lover 1 Posted December 11, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krysis 2 Posted January 4, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valeris 2 Posted March 5, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted March 11, 2007 I like it, but I rarely meet someone else who does so it is hard to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted March 11, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
