Never even tried it!
I used to be, I doubt I would be any more though, it's been years since I played it.
I'm not a chessmaster, but I enjoy playing it quite a bit. Until the computer starts dancing circles around me and I have to flip a table at it.
Hahaha, not at all.
<PaperStar> live fast, die young, bad plefs do it well
i understand the game. but thats about it
To be really good at it, you have to memorize certain strategic move-sets, which kind of ruins it for me. I like to play and think ahead a couple moves, but mostly I like to play on pure instinct, which isn't so great for the game, but gives me more satisfaction when I do win.
Yeah, this. When I did play somewhat often I had memorized a few openers and responses to openers (I have no clue what the terminology is). Other than that, it was just staring at the current position of all the pieces and trying to think of where to place them for greatest effect from there. Certainly not the best way. It's been so long now, I'm not sure I remember exactly what each piece can do, and forget trying to piece together any sort of strategy.
I did really enjoy playing it though.
King me, dawg.

Recently I got back in to playing Chess. I've been playing since I was eight, but haven't played a legit game since I was twelve, so I am definitely rusty. I would say I'm decent, not terrible but definitely not good. I would lose against a human that has been playing more frequently, but I can house a beginner and a computer. If heaven is real I want to play chess against Stanely Kubrick in heaven.
Chess? I'll own all you scrubs. You'll quickly grow tired and dismayed the more you hear me yell "KING ME" after all the ownage!
I'm okay.
Pulled off Scholar's Mate on my ex father in law once.
But other than that I'm horrible at it, horrible.
