Do you play it?

How good are you?

What is your basic strategy?

Had a spell about 10 years ago where i just really enjoyed it...now just really havent had time to play...did like chessmaster software..thought that was pretty cool...

As far as strategy...cant say i ever did have one...i mean i did win, just was more of a reactionary type player...

yes...

average...

to make the game last at least an hour b/4 I lose...

yes

not very

knock all the pieces over after I loose

Sometimes

Don't know if I have ever won

I cuss a lot when I lose pieces and talk too much smack when I snag my opponents piece

I play,

I rock.

Watch the board and the opponent carefully. Lock for weakness. Offer commotion on a area of the board that is a distraction from the real contest.

Much like life . . . .

Yes,

I suck,

Move the pieces around until they all get taken away...

I play

Below average

I like to make the pieces make illegal moves just to see if it'll be noticed

Yep. My dad taught me when I was 6, I think.

Played in middle school and always got beat by the same kid. Bastid.

I am an average player but, if I really put my mind to it, I can have a good game here and there.

7. so that's where I learned that strategy

LMAO

Yes i play but haven't for years. I have won tournaments and was ranked fairly high. I prefer speed chess because i am not a patient man..

Played tournament chess in college, a very, very long time ago. Was USCF rated, not very high. I think I got up to B level. Won some money and a trophy for the biggest upset in the 1974 San Bernardino Open. I beat an 'expert' rated player when I was still a C.

The expert was a kid about 14 years old!

Now I'm teaching chess to my grandson. Only because he wants me to. I started him with the K-P vs K end games so he will understand opposition.

Never forget zee French Deefense !

i play some.

i am decent, but far from great.

strategy--win. i do keep the queen reigned in for as long as possible.

yes

not bad

I have none

There are certain things that just elude me..............like some mental block is in place.

I have no interest in them, don't understand them, and don't care to understand them.

Chess is one of them. Another is sewing machines.

Played some years ago. Enjoyed it, but never really a student of the game.

Sewing machines, on the other hand....uhhh...I mean there's thread on top and thread on bottom and then...well...uh...forget it...I'm already confused.

I used to play a lot, but not any more. I cannot find people to play.

I consider myself above average player.

TWO threads?????????

On That sewing machine thing , i mean i have one, they tell me it's a real good one , a serger too, butI don't get it !
