I learned at around age 10 and played for a few years in the school chess club and had a few chess books. I moved school when I was 13 and that was the end of chess (which means without the structure and encouragement at school I wasn’t an enthusiast). I’ve played rarely since then (if we go on holidays and the house has a board maybe I will play a game with my kids). Really enjoyed watching the Queens Gambit.

My problem is that no one wants to play chess with me anymore, I noticed that in chess there are the most sore losers.gazuty wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 11:49 amI learned at around age 10 and played for a few years in the school chess club and had a few chess books.

When I’ve been vaccinated, the pandemic peters out and the Australian government allows its citizens to travel again I will visit London and one evening I will put a bar tab down and shout those forum members who attend a few drinks. If you come we can play an exhibition match and the others can laugh at me when you win in less than 10.

I considered myself to be a great chess player until I played against some of the worlds best on the app above.

Probably some of them hate me, those are more likely to laugh at me for winning while I'm enjoying my drink.gazuty wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:08 pmWhen I’ve been vaccinated, the pandemic peters out and the Australian government allows its citizens to travel again I will visit London and one evening I will put a bar tab down and shout those forum members who attend a few drinks.

I no longer have the time for hobbies like chess or lengthy computer games - just trading and drinking. But my biggest regret is not learning how to mate with king and queen versus king and rook. It almost drove me mad trying to figure it out but I'm sure I would have learnt it if I persevered.

Alone against all. Exactly the challenge I needed. To go against the odds.. Only if there was such a job.. I'll search for it but I will be trading meanwhile.Realrocknrolla wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 1:45 pmI’ll be your friendbeermonsterman wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:18 pmI cant play chess but I can certainly fetch the beergazuty wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:08 pm
