I used to enjoy playing chess many many years ago and haven't played since then, probably 30 years ago.   Just recently I have started playing the in-built chess game in windows 7.  I have been playing one game a day to see if it improves my game, which I think it is. However,  I still can't beat the fucking computer at it  >:(

Not so sure about that....he's 14 now and at the age where he's hot on just about everything....perhaps I should get a cat and try and play against that  ;D
HAHAHAHAHAHA!  I hear dat!
Drink a Bud while you do it and if you loose, you can say to yourself, "I was drunk". Or maybe, "feeling sick".  ;D ;D
I still play at chess from time to time.  when I first started teaching I had a kid bring it into school and got the whole class addicted to it.  I took a couple good old fashioned ass whoopings and said fuck that!  I hadn't played chess since I was a kid and my dad used to make me play all the time.  bought of couple of books and I'm the "Grandmaster" versus 10 year olds! HAHAHAHAHAHA

We went camping a few weeks ago and the camp site had a huge life size chess board and played the kids a million times.  they love it...though they just push pieces.

My father-in-law loves playing.  he has a particular opening that is really a bitch.  If I don't make the right moves have can win in 4 moves.  I've learned over the years though if I kill his queen his game gets all fucked and I have a chance to beat him! HAHAHAHA

I'm a for shit player.  I've got an app on the phone and I can beat the first 3 levels vs. computer.  After that....I'm shit again.
Chess is NOT the right game to play when you're ADHD.  You start out OK, then...  SQUIRREL!!!
I was a big chess fanatic for several years back in the early 70's. I used to win some and lose some, and I hated losing, but I sure liked winning..... I have not played a game since those years.

Challenge it to a guitar wanking contest instead.  That'll put it in its place!   :D
