My only ambition in a chess game is to move all my pawns to the other guys goal line and turn them into queens.

Not in the least. Makes my spidy senses tingle though.

ive been playing since the early 70s. i pretty much play every day on line and play with 2 chess clubs..one on friday night and the other on sunday nights, i even get games in during the week at a coffee house.

i enjoy the game and am just a average club player, no way can i make my living from it.

its the cheapest hobby i got, and i never got in trouble over a chess board. here is a pic of a table i had with me in desert storm.

So, I find it much easier to beat a person at chess rather than a computer.

Anyone else experience this?

It depends on the computer, my VIC 20 doesn't seem that hard to beat.

Have you tried stacking two in parallel? Double the CPU power, and it will crush you!

If I ever get another one I'll have to try it. That would be around 2MHz and 10kb memory! I'll call her "Skynet" .

What are the most important squares on the board?

@SnapsProvolone is correct the 4 center squares are the most important because who ever controls those can control the board. When the game fist starts you want to control or target more squares on your opponents side of the board to gain control or a hand up on your opponent.

Is that the russian roulette version? Looks fun.

@Doer
if every species of animal grew opposable thumbs at the same time what sort of world would we live in today?

What does chess have to do with Animal Farm?

 

[Doer]

those surrounding the king?

That is a correct choice. I thought about that after I posted.

I was talking about the 4 squares in the middle. Entire theories are about various ways to take, hold, defend close by, defend from far, etc, just those 4 squares.

But, to the heart of checkmate and thus the game, you win by controlling, invading, sacrificing on, occupying and otherwise harassing the squares around the King. Bingo.

Shows how long it's been since i've played lol. I have tried and tried to get my 15 yr old son to play with me but he refuses.

Dude. Get an account on Chess.com. They have this tactic trainer, that adapts to your stupid blind spots and tries to solve them.

Owww Owww....watching stoners play chess. Good one, Heck.
