Chess

Post by TPFKA@W »

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?

When you see you are about to lose, throw the board up in the air. :mrgreen:

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

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.
