Anyone here plays chess?
Apart from MythoS, my commander and friend in real life, who I met in a chess tournament.
I play chess many years now, not just as a hobby, I have taken it seriously, going all around Greece, or even abroad to participate in chess tournaments..........
Anyone else who also plays chess for something more than just fun?

Anyone else who also plays chess for something more than just fun? I think our first chess tournament is coming soon. I'll be attending!!... as an observer  I've forgotten a lot of the strategies in chess. Last time I played was when I was 10 years old (and I kicked ass back then too  ). I might learn again. :cool: |

I believe john was asking about more proffessional chess players... Hehe i brought the idea at our forum but it wouldnt mind if we check about some potential good players here as well i guess... Anyone interested??? We might even have a friendly NEA vs TGA chess match(how chess can be played by more than 2?believe me it can) Btw,if he hasnt already shouted out for it,John is taking part at the world chess championship starting in 2 days! Good luck friend,go kick some @$$ |

I'm a pretty good player although I don't play much. A fun variation of chess is Nightmare Chess. I'm sure few, if any, have played it, but it is a normal chess game with a card game variation. It takes strategy to a whole new level.

I used to play chess a lot. Played in a few tourrnaments, got a few trophies, but then I just fell out of it. Was a little busy and none my friends would ever play me because. And I absolutely HATE playing agaiinst computers. I don't know exactly why.
So I guess I played chess pretty seriously a few years ago, but nothing professional.

It is hard to find a good opponent since few play chess seriously and so once you become the best in a region, only computers are challenging, but computers are predictable and without personality.

only computers are challenging, but computers are predictable and without personality. If you play with a computer long enough, you forget how human players (who make stupid or unexpected moves) act. Happened to me; I played vs. my comp sooo many times, any other styles of play by opponents knocked me totally off balance. |

I used to play chess a lot to. but no body ever wanted to play with me. So i eventualy fell out of it and forgot all of my skills. never felt like entering any turnaments. proboly wasn't good enough anyways. I played it for fun not to win.
