How good are you at chess?

ArishMell · 70-79, M
Hopeless, to my disappointment!

I have not played for many years, in fact I think I gave my chess set to a nephew.

I can still remember the basic rules but I was never able to plan moves more than about two ahead at best and was forever failing to spot obvious threats to my more important pieces.

I played and won some tournaments in the past, now I think I'm just avg.

@Elessar Jack of all trades, master of none?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Jexie Kinda, but not necessarily: I specialized in software development, I think that's my art now
Jexie · 26-30, F
@Elessar I know. I was teasing 🤭. I wouldn't mind you using your artful skills to fix my software.
I don't know how to play.
@Ozymandiaz Nice to know. Thanks

@MsSwan winning is the complicated part. You kinda have to be able to anticipate what the other player will do, and position your pieces so that you are able to overtake their pieces.
@rosyhills Thanks

There are some Chess FB sites what are fun. If you like finding checkmate in 3 moves from old grandmasters games.

I know how all the pieces move on the board, but I never played to learn the strategy of the game.
@WillaKissing Practice is all you need

I know how to play chess, I'm just not a very good strategist
@caPnAhab Do you enjoy it?
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@Ozymandiaz yeah, depends who I'm playing against.

I don't like sore losers or winners that rub your nose in it

I used to be an average club player. But I haven't played in a long time.
@HoraceGreenley It has been a while for me also
rosyhills · 31-35, F
I can name the pieces and which way they go...
@rosyhills That is all you need
I can spell the word chess. That's about it.

@Ozymandiaz I'm even worse at golf
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
I used to be mediocre; now I'm terrible.
@uncalled4 A fall from grace
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@Ozymandiaz Not even that. A stumble over a badly-tied shoelace, perhaps?
@MethDozer Would have been nice if they had added chess to the games section
