Any chess players here?

Just read this about a guy from India becoming the youngest ever world chess champion. I used to play chess a LOT during my teenage and college years but then I discovered PC gaming… biggrin

I love chess in theory. I get my … handed to me in reality.

I play a bit, making sure my kids know how to play and not suck too much. It’s an important game to know imo, like judo, dodgeball and poker.

Chess never made me feel stupid but trying to read Shakespeare for the first time surely did!!

I haven’t played for a while. I guess my lack of enjoyment for the game comes from the regular thrashings I had playing against my brother, who is insanely good… If I managed to take more than one of his pawns I considered it a decent game on my part.

Last time I played Chess was in the late 1990’s when it came as one of the bundled games on my desktop. I was so bad even on the basic setting I was getting my rear handed to me. I never won a single game.

I had the Star Wars chess game for Windows 3.1.1 that I loved to play way back in the dark ages!
