learn to play chess well

I want to get through the entire ‘Complete Idiot’s Guide to Chess’ book, to learn all the tactics and strategies…..and to enjoy it!

I know I’m never going to be the next Bobby Fischer or Judit Polgar – WAIT, SCRAP THAT!!! This site is about building a more positive attitude to life, right? So I guess, I could be the next Polgar or Fischer….who’s stopping me?!

I started getting a little more serious about chess, going about once a week to play chess with a friend at a cafe. He is very good and he teaches me a lot. I ‘ve started to learn openings and really work on a couple.

i’ll have to find another program that doesn’t expire so quickly and that holds my attention.

or i could always get one of those teaching chessboards at some point later.

(always later)

played chessmaster on training mode the other day… couple games. still nowhere near where i want to be, but i’m following along allright.

That is- Shinrock. Freudian slip!

‘good enough’ as almost just as good as ‘well’.

have yet to really play them yet, but i’ll get around to them

a great chess game should be a blend of logic and imagination, that is why this game has endured so long!

I need to play more with people and learn the different arts that flow through the game.
