used to play a lot in high school… somehow i ended up winning the state tech school tournament in my senior year… i enjoy playing on chess.com now… i am not great (rated around 1050-1100 online) but i do enjoy a bit of stra-teeg-ery and tactics 
if anyone plays online look me up on chess.com jmpaul320
I used to carry a small magnetic travel set in my ruck sack when I was in the Army. That little set sure got played a lot, it also traveled a lot. Probably a lot more than most people ever will. It’s been a long time since I played so I’m sure I’m not up to that level of playing, but I might check it out just to see how rusty I am.
I prefer Backgammon .
i find i get more enjoyment out of chess when i just enjoy the game and dont worry about winning or losing or being competitive
if you are up for a game look me up
I can play Checkers, does that count? Chess is too complicated for my peanut of a brain lol!
I like chess. I may go to that site. can beginners play there?
i may see you there one day. still all time fav board game if thats considered one.
Awesome, another chess player. I think I am Leapvaun there or something. It’s been about a year since I’ve been logged in though. Maybe sometime over the next few days we’ll find time to play.
I play computer chess all the time.
I stick to level 3 and below. And I like to use the ultimate ctrl-z button combo often, and multiple times in a single turn.
Me too. I like the canon piece :)
i was playing chess at games.yahoo.com but havent played for a while
I like chess but i have no time to go to that site.
I don’t like to play chess online on the internet.
I was beating some people on yahoo and I realized that when these kids started to lose they would cheat and leave the table ,then return hoping you'd left so they could win by default after x amount of time .
i was appalled
if you didn't leave they'd drag out the game and keep leaving the table ...hoping you'd quit ..anything for stupid points they didn't deserve
yeah its really annoying people do that to me online all the time… i do prefer playing in real life, but i only know one or two people who actually play well enough to make it enjoyable… so im stuck with the internet for now…. unless anyone here wants to play a game or two
there is an element about playing chess with someone you know well that i really enjoy…. knowing their personality and who they are and watching how they decide to form positions is part of the fun experience for me
Used to play a little back in my youth but like many folks just not something I’ve done in some time. One game I would like to learn though is Go
I play on and off with an old electric/battery set many years old.
I will look to the website and see what is my rating. Thank you.
love chess. Do the Tactic Trainer on chess.com it is free.
Sorry for digging up this old thread, but I was in love with chess since about 6 months ago when I didn’t even know about the rules at all lol.
After learning some of the basic things (openings, simple end game tactics…) in a few months I was getting a little better, but still a noob lol.
I seldom played against the other players but most of the time I just played against the engine in Chess.com. I know a lot of good players do not encourage people to play against the computer too much but you know, I am impatient and always want a quick game (be it winning or losing) lol.
Although I am still a weak player but I love to watch and read everything about chess, and not to mention this interesting upcoming movie Pawn Sacrifice, which is about the bio of Bobby Fischer.
if you want we can play on chess.com
