May 31, 2015 2:17 PM CST chess is a game of torture
My new addiction sater.

I've avoided playing this game for almost 15 years now. My dearest brother and I used to play and had fun but when he was killed, it saddened me to even think of this game because of my memories.

But lately I've warmed up again and yet playing against the computer is not fun. It's torture. Whoever programmed the computer is a genius. .hard to beat.

Lol. I used to turn difficulty to the masters level. Once I got it to take back a move. That was my only victory. After losing 30 games, I had to find another hobby.

At our library here in town they have a chess club. I have played computer but playing alone just is not as much fun. Maybe check into the chess club. Before my husband died he made a gorgeous chess game. Each man gorgeously chiseled. I have never used that board,it even has a lined drawer to keep the men. Maybe one day I will use it. I use to love to play also. blues

Hi Lindsey. Watercolor is quick and stimulating, it doesnt have to be intimidating if you let your right brain take control. I like nature a lot, taxonomy and the outdoors.


Art is a great hobby and vocation if you can enjoy it without financial success, just enjoy it for itself.

It's because the computer has "access" to the future moves that take the brick and mortar player, so to speak, longer to calculate. Some players have 'beat' the computer, but it is not likely. Remember, whoever programmed the computer to play chess programmed all possibilities, or at least laid the blueprint for the computer to do so...

go to my lounge chat, in a few minutes, for some interesting info..

Don't apologise .. It's just I expect a more controversial thread from you. Something to get people talking & debating .
