Yeah, I actually do some of the problems via an app on my iPhone, but I'm really inconsistent with it. I also play a lot of Shredder chess, which constantly whoops my ass.

I love chess, I just started really playing 5 months ago, but I downloaded Chess Master 10th edition and it helped alot for the learning curve. Anyways i am up to 1000 which is pretty cool. I would suggest anyone download that program if you want to get to better at chess. The academy is very helpful.

Msmith · 04-21-2010, 07:37 AM

I just read an article yesterday about how chess could help people in old age combat against Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases due to its thought process structure.

There was a time I played chess and read books, until computer games appeared to take that interest away. I found out that if I played those games such as Age of Empires or Starcraft a while my chess playing skill went down, especially the thought process. Then someone said that chess requires a linear thinking process where the common computer games I mentioned empathized on multitasking skills which are keen on instant decision making rather than deep concentration.

Currently I play a lot of Yahoo chess. My rating is hovering around 1400s which is about a C player level.

Amnorix · 04-21-2010, 08:28 AM

I played quite a bit of chess when I was younger. Read books, etc. while in High school, and was in the chess club in college. For that crowd I was basically average. We had a couple guys that pretty much never lost, and when they went head to head it was worth watching if you had the time. But I've never done anything that involved getting rated or whatever. I know I'm better than most of my friends, but we're all casual players, and I haven't played in years now.

Otter · 04-21-2010, 08:38 AM

Many a wedgie need to be handed out on this thread.

Sandyskc · 04-21-2010, 08:57 AM

I used to be rated by USCF and was a TD for several years. I gave it up when my husband - the serious chess player - passed away. I now have a grandson learning to play.

Hunh. You can't write a grammatically correct sentence and your sig contains a "quote" that was never actually said by the stated author. Yeah, surprising that you're not a chess player really....

BWillie · 04-21-2010, 09:57 AM

I just bought a marble chess set to go w/ my other marble tables. All I know is I've owned all my friends so far and I didn't even remember how the Knight moved
