Chess is not one of those mindless games that you can play with your eyes closed. Chess requires strategy. You have to think 2 moves ahead. You have to anticipate your opponent's next move.
I'm in the middle of a chess game. I have my next few moves planned out. My opponent has underestimated me. He didn't know that this is a timed game. He also didn't know that I learned to play chess as a child. He thinks he's a Knight, he's really a Pawn. But in the end, it's all about the Queen!
Your comments--priceless!!
Alrighty Queen!!! I see a checkmate and a knock down of the King coming. The rook and the knight down for the count while the pawns idly look on in disbelief! Sink that "battleship" next. Seriously, chess is a game of strategy and patience.
lol like poker but with more skill, and they never knew what hit them. i have not played chess in years but used to enjoy it very much.
Dont you love it when someone underestimates your skills. Keep your guard up, and your game face on.
I can remember when granddaddy got out the checker board you knew it was time for a meeting of the minds. He would always say "think long, think wrong" He'd make a move and say what you going to do now? But when I learned to play chess it was more intense and my opponent better not say anything I was thinking long and I was thinking strategically on my next move. When my husband and I lived overseas (before children) we would have a meeting of the minds with a game of chess. And we learned alot about each other as we strategically attempted to win. And many years later we still have a meeting of the minds with a game of chess.
