I Play Chess

To me, chess is the swordplay or the fisticuffs of the mind. The concepts are similar enough. Understand the different moves and strikes. Advance, sidestep, block and counterattack, keep advancing, watch your opponent's openings, lure a hasty move. Press the offense, press it some more.

Then aim for the head. Checkmate. K-O.

Queens Gambit is my normal tussle.
I prefer a longer positional battle that simplifies into an endgame unless there is a compelling attack.

@Pfuzylogic Patient and deliberate strategy, I see.

@ShieldUp
Chess is a long game in its essence if the opponents are equal in strength although the fireworks in a combinatorial middle game or a sacrificial attack on the King provide much entertainment.

@Pfuzylogic A flurry of bladework, I call it. Where the duel gets fun

@ShieldUp
It requires a deep analysis to come up on top. Hence Deep Blue defeating Kasparov years ago.

@Pfuzylogic Are you on chess.com, sir? I'd be honored to duel with you.

@Pfuzylogic If you tell me your account name, I could find you and have a match

@ShieldUp
My name is the same but honestly I have chilled. There is a big group from here on that site.

ShieldUp · 26-30, M

@Pfuzylogic I sent you a challenge. And oh really? I'll love to test my mental blade against theirs.

Pfuzylogic · M

@ShieldUp
I am. not on the site.
Be patient and you will find others that want to play here.

@Pfuzylogic A pity. And yes, you bet I will.
