Anyone on here play it? I know how the pieces move and that about sums it up. My ex was a competitive player and mopped the floor with me any time I tried to play with him so I quit.
I have started to get into it with the computer. Any advice on learning strategy?

Nope, directed at you. Pretty simple tips for chess play, as you requested.

I've had many an unkind word with my computer too, but to no avail. However, you have a more effective manner of addressing such things so your computer may get in line.

I have had to corporeally punish my computer a time or 2. I am a big fan of percussive maintenance.

That's a pricey reaction when one is playing on the computer.
