Jkulin Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I used to play and was taught by my father who was a very aggressive player, he hated it when I finally learnt enough to beat him.I had a mate who lived across the road and we would play many an evening with a nice Cognac and chill, not really needing to say much, just enjoy each others company.I have just watched the Queens Gambit on Netflix, an absolutely fantastic series with brilliant acting and wonderful story line.So during this latest lock down, I plan to play remotely with my family.I wondered about passing the time with mates whilst imaging on those long winter nights?Does anyone else play?

KevS Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Used to play quite a bit, unfortunately no one in the household plays now the kids are off hand. Sometimes I play the tablet, but find the game a bit wooden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeye Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Never played but always fancied learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Not played since school and the odd dabble with computer chess in the 1980s. We do have a fancy set that is really more of an ornament at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macavity Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Joined various (school etc.) Chess Clubs! Memorised several openings even. Still vulnerable to any rank beginners with their "Queen on Rook Five" etc. ? Another of those things which required more than mere book learning... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
