[LiNuX]

i've been playing for years - practiced a lot with my dad back in the day - i only beat him ONCE!! out of like 800 times we played

my dad's really good at chess and watching him play I learned a lot of his strategies and have used them against friends at school and at home and i don't lose as much which is good

haven't played in probably a year though

I can checkmate someone in two. You just have to follow my instructions.

i did that three times in my life (never my dad since i only beat him once, took like 3 hours too)

all three were at school - 1 was to a girl that looked amazed and never played me again and the other two were friends of mine thinking they could beat me

NEVER LEAVE YOUR KING OPEN BY MOVING ONE OF YOUR PAWNS (i call them solders) THE FIRST MOVE

[conman1000]

When I was young I won every year, then in Third grade they started hosting it every year at my school, and the system they use here hates me, I come close, but no cigar.

Edit: LiNuX, I did it the very first match to finish in the first ever chess tournament for our school.

it's really fun to play but gives you headaches.......... sometimes:-P

[rukisuto]

I love chess.
No one around me likes to play it though so I don't get to play it a lot.

[Jaykub]

Never really wanted to play

[Kiss]

I'm okay... I can beat anyone who hasn't played it before :P

[Blackbird]

Yes I'm have been playing Chess when I'm was a kid, joining chess club and quiting for a long time, now I'm going with Shougi ( Japanese Chess) it's a bit different than Chess, I guess more thinking.
Let's try to play online chess or shougi with me xD

[glenofimaal]

now that i think about it it's been like months since i played my last chess game :eek:

[Raoul]

Chess is really a good game and you must think hard also it's like you playing a strategy game against the enemy.:yes:

[vepanator]

Hell yeah I've played. And I enjoy playing it.
Just that one part, I suck at it.

I've been playing (need to think... I'm now 19 and...) sence I was 5, against my dad and all those who ever wanted to play against me. But I dont remember that I've had ever won a game of chess.

I rly dont know why I´m so bad at playing it, I know the rules, I've read many books about it and been rly _rly_ playing, but I just keep sucking :D (Actually I dont even mind, chess is just a way to spend 2-4 hrs, or 10-15 mins if I'm playing against computer)

So if you want to feel like a pro player, play with me!

[Th3-devils-princess]

I play chess me and my brother were in the chess team at school (back in the day) and we entered companions :) :) he has always been better though hehe :) :) :)

[glenofimaal]

I still love chess. It's one of the few games that require me to actually think. Unfortunately, not to many people are decent at chess, so I'm stuck to playing chess on my laptop against computers.... :(

[chibimel]

i used to play it all the time.. then came up with the conclusion that.. i dont strategize very well lol

[Jayhmmz]

I played chess once, ...... yeah that's pretty much my story.

[chibimel]

.. sounds epic.

[glenofimaal]

I guess you didn't do too well ;)

Woah, new smilies 8)

[Jayhmmz]

Nah I sucked! Although it was due to lack of trying... not lack of trying to play, just lack of trying to learn to play :P

Perhaps you should try to learn how to play, then play again. Chess has endless possibilities and strategies. Just today I absolutely annihilated my dad in chess :laugh1:

The only game I like better than chess is risk.... now that's a great game.

Risk has strategy, skill, diplomacy, and a little luck here and there :D

[osamahatem]

I like chess a lot although i am not very good at it. I play online on ChessCube (http://www.chesscube.com/register/?referrer=osamahatem). It's a great site, it has a great interface and a good number of players at any given time with rating and tournaments and you can buy videos made by Chess IMs to learn chess. It's just great. I advice everyone who wants to play chess to try it.

[BobTD]

I used to be pretty good at chess. I would be interested in playing friendly games with people I know from the forum.

What I used to really excel at was speed chess, the faster you where forced to play the better I was, I'm really good at fast choices only looking two or three moves ahead rather then games where people take ten minutes to move.

[Eric]

I used to play a lot, back in elementary school..

[Polishkid]

i love to play chess it is super fun

[BobTD]

so I tried that chess program online. For some reason its harder then having an actual board to play on. I just dont view the moves the same way and its like writing with my offhand lol. Internet chess players are all really challenging as well. I only got one person to fall for the german blitz out of like, 7.

[osamahatem]

If you mean the site i told you about, then that's normal at first because every player starts with a rating of 1500, so it's normal for anyone to lose at first until he reaches his real rating. BTW, ChessCube (http://www.chesscube.com/register/?referrer=osamahatem) uses the Elo format to determine rank changes after rated matches, which is the format used officially by the FIDE (The International Federation of Chess).

[Mine]

I have played Chess. I'm okay at it. I'll never be a master.

only one can claim best facebook status (http://www.postrandomonium.com)

[Diligence109]

Because you bumped this thread, Mine, my roommate and I just played a game of chess together. It was something that we'd mentioned we should do in passing only a handful of days earlier but this thread brought it to the forefront of my mind and I mentioned the game to him again on a whim.

I lost; but it was a good match XD

[Flab-Ender]

I love how only one person has never played this game. Who is it?

[Raoul]

Playing chess is really fun I last time played it on Windows Vista and I must say when you put the difficulty level on max the computer really takes forever to play the game lol. I am sure that I can go make me a lovely cup of coffee and come back and then it maybe finish his turn or very close to finish.:cheesy:But yeah I really enjoyed playing chess I am not like very good my dad lol he took be to school in that game he beat me like nothing lol I was like a puppet there against him:laugh1::laugh1:

STOP MISUSING SEMI-COLONS D: DILI STOP D:

also, yes, they did play a very close match.

Chess is fun and all, but I'm not very good at it... I had a boyfriend that was really good and so I would never play because there was no point XD

Have you guys ever played Xiangqi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi) (basically Chinese chess)? The same ex-boyfriend had me play that, before, and it's pretty cool. I'm still bad at it. But yes.

[FormerGamer]

I like to pretent I am good at chess by spending a lot of time making my move. Useless, I still lose ...

[makgamer]

playing every day ;)

[paecmaker]

I play a little but none in my family likes chess.

[Raoul]

Yeah true I mostly saw my family play chess and then I started playing, but I still have to beat my dad in chess he is just really tough lol:cheesy:I want to beat him in 3 moves like he done to me once and then he can see I can also beat him in 3 moves:azn:

Almost didnt know that you could beat someone in three moves, lol.

[Raoul]

Lol I only got it once right and it was actually tough lol I don't know how to do it again:embarrassed:lol so now it's going to be more tougher than ever before:azn:

[LiNuX]

Almost didnt know that you could beat someone in three moves, lol.

I've beaten a few people with 2 moves using my bishop. It's rare because of so many opening move possibilities.
