Renton 21209 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I used to love chess, second best in my school, did okay at chess Congresses. Played until university and haven't played since. Far too taxing to even bother now. Best player I ever played against was a jail bird who was a flat mate for a while. Learnt in prison, obviously. I couldn't beat him.

It's a good game but I haven't played for ages really. Got into one holiday in Greece and used to play against a local who had a bar when it was quiet, which was pretty much all the time. It's probably better played sipping Metaxa watching the sun set over the Aegean but so are most things I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is proper good at it and beat me so badly I was traumatised for a long time. You just need to find whichever game length suits you really. Like I said I like 3 min Blitz but 1 min or 2|1 Bullet is just too hectic for me and I'm just not very good at that speed. In Blitz even going to 5 mins is much more sedate than 3 mins and you can play 10 mins too (plus 3|2 and 15|10). Also there's rapid chess (30 mins) which is just 'normal' chess as it were. On Chess.com a lot of people seem to have one preferred way of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
