Do you know how to play chess? How good are you?

Hi there! I love playing chess and it used to be one of my favourite indoor games, because it gives us a kind of mental exercise and sharpens our skills. It is always exciting to calculate move by others. I do not get much time to play the same now a days.

I play chess rarely. But used to play it often in school days. I have never taken part in tournaments though.I like to play it very much.

I learned to play chess out of curiosity. I am not really good at it since I get headache thinking of what moves to make. So if you ask me if what level I play, I guess It would be safe to say that I am still on the beginners level. I have not played any competition. So its just for fun. Well, chess is such a great game and I really admire those who are really good at it.

I love to play chess. I think it is really very interesting, you could get a lot of fun from it. However, I am not very good at it. Only sometimes play it with my friends, it helps us to kill time.

maybe i can say i know. but not good at it. i learned it when i was a child. then i always failed when playing with my brother. when in the university, i always played online in the computer, so, better and better then. but after i worked. i never played it again. i'm afraid i forget it a lot. what a pity.

I played chess whenever i find time to mingle with my uncles.They are the ones who teach how to play it.Eventually i learned some different techiniques.But not as good as the professionals.

wow! a chess varsity player... that's pretty neat! hehehe i started playing chess in primary school, only because someone said i couldn't do it and i was challenged. -lol- but i started enjoying it when i started understanding the rudiments of the game. i'm such a fan of board games. that's how most of my family members bonded before... until we learnt card games. -lol- i competed in highschool for school level competitions and won. i don't play it that well, perhaps it was such my luck that my opponents didn't play well also. -lol- it's been a long time since i did play the game. my younger brother is actually a better player in it. but i still consider it fun. :)

I know how to play chess but I can say that I'm not good at it. I just know the moves. I learned playing chess when I was in elementary. In highschool I tried to join the tryouts in our school. But I didn't stay too long in that coz I really don't have the edge in this game though.

I certainly do, as soon as I was old enough to understand how the pieces moved my dad taught me how to play chess and I would say from that point on to my late teens I would play a few games of chess with him most days. Like yourself I have entered a few tournaments, main local, and didn't too bad beating many so called chess experts but never actually winning the whole tournament. These days I don't play so often but my game is still pretty good. My trouble is I don't like playing computer chess as I like the actual interaction with your opponent. But I do resort to an occassional computer game when I get the urge.

yes i know how to play chess but i am not so skilled but i know allthe rulls and regulations of it. i have not participated in any tournament but when it is summer here, i play it with my friends under a big tree near to my home. lol

I learnt the game when in my early teens and my parents taught me how to play chess. I love the game as it stirs your mind and with every move you have to think sharper than your opponent. I would call myself average - where i do play sharp moves but generally lose at the end. I know how to drag the game too . However, i like playing with people who are good at the game instead of fooling around with kids who have just begun to know the game

i know how to play chess, my 2 cousins has been a champion in playing chess in our locality, but i never tried joining contests although i often defeated them when we are playing..haha, i will say, i am just an average player of the chess, knows how to move and do the mate thing, but i am not that good..hehe

I know how to play it ....i learned from one of my uncle when i was 8....i play it regularly since then....but i am not a pro or something ....still learning....i have never participated in any tourney or something like that....i play it for fun only....provides a good exercise for my brain....

I learned chess from my friends. Its really a great game to be played indoor. Its not a game to relax your brain but to stimulate it. Now a days i play chess atleast 3 days a week.

I am not good at playing chess at all. If I'm not mistaken, I only learned playing chess when I was in high school, and I played for a while only. I am generally not good at playing any strategic games. I learned playing Chinese chess when I was 5 years old, as my father always played Chinese chess with my elder brother. But they didn't really like to play with me, because I didn't have any strategy while playing chess, it's kind of boring playing with me, I suppose.

I really enjoy playing chess. I'm pretty good at playing chess. Maybe mylot should put some chess on here to pass the time while we discuss. This would be awesome. Do you know how to do the notations? We can get a game coming along here and people can contribute but can't make the move =P. God bless

Hi, friend. I learnt to play chess when i was 10 (now i am 18). That time i played chess mostly with my cousins, and that continued for around five years. I played at least a thousand games with a variety of players ranging from my friends to the local experts, and i remember losing only thrice. So, you can guess how much i love the game, in post part due to the mind power it requires. When i was around 15, i abandoned it due to lack of time and because all those who played with me were seniors and they settled far off from the place. Now, a year and a half ago, i got a laptop, and i started playing chess titans, but not very often. I think i am not that good at it, as i often face difficulty defeating the final level. But, the tragic state is that chess is not considered a very popular game here and faces lack of support, even when the World chess champion and the Junior World chess champion are from our country, i.e. India. This caused me never participate in official competitions and that sometimes hurts me. Keep up your skills. Happy Mylotting!!

One day my teacher said to me, that a strong chess player will be able to make planning for his life, as a strong chess player who already know the steps to 40th. Just as the planning of his life, he already knows what will be like. Because it eventually i learned to be a chess player, unfortunately i can not be a chess player who respite. I can only play chess but not experts.

My husband taught me how to play chess about 10 years ago. We only played for a couple of weeks. So by now I've certainly forgotten how to play. And we even have a nice chess board with glass pieces.

i can play chess though i am not a champion. i even taught chess to my son who in turn won a runnerup prize in our Officer's Club competition. playing chess is quite interesting and we can improve our thinking capacity
