Chess - Page 4

post #46 of 51
I suck at chess. While I've enjoyed playing it a few times wtih other total newbs I frankly lack the patience to really learn how to play. I prefer more instant gratification. I'm also kind of afraid that I'll discover I'm a total moron in the process of trying to learn.

That said, I do have a pretty cool, if not necessarily high-end, hand-carved chess set from Bali, the kind of thing you see all over the place as tourist pap, but mine's relatively high-quality and was pretty cheap, since I was there before the place really REALLY blew up.

b) lucky

I did administer one good beat-down yesterday, but the other game seems headed for a loss if I keep forgetting to be prudent in my attack. I think we swapped queens within the first 5 moves or so.

Kwilk is one move from beating me like a rented mule.

I didn't see that coming. I was trying to get your queen and it all just fell in front of me.
