I'm guessing it is Marcu then? Is he any good at chess?

He is learning. I'd guess he'd win 2-3 out of 10 if I took it seriously :) Do you play?

I play a bit. I'm more of a hobby player than anything else.

I used to play chess with my dad as a kid. One time my friend got really into chess and was studying it for a while but then gave up when I beat him with my childhood skills lol More than playing though I like to watch the world championships. Magnus Carlsen is awesome. I remember last world championship I was searching google trying to find a stream and when I finally found a site with a link it was some storm front type website lol

I've played it since I was a kid, and I suck at it. A real good chess player sees all possible moves on the board and tries to use that to his advantage.

A player like me remembers how to set the board up and knows how the pieces move.

I am happy to teach someone how to play, but accepted long ago I will never be a next level chess player. It's fun to teach kids how to play it though. Some of them think far enough ahead to beat you if you play them long enough. I can respect that.

And no, I didn't let you win, you little shit. I just happen to suck at chess. Now fuck off.

You know what Winnson? I bet if you just found some people to have a few games with you would be hooked and would start to get better real fast.

I was the exact same way, didn't think I was capable of seeing moves ahead, thought it was some savant shit, lol but its not that hard

Hard to be awesome at maybe but certainly not hard to be re-introduced to the game as semi-intelligent adult and have some fun :D

Like most things its all time spent/practice. No secret beyond this to anything, really I am discovering

People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
