I have no idea how to play the game, until i got married. My husband likes to play the game and he tought me the moves of each piece. Now, I know but I'm not that good. Of all the games we played, I only won once! ?? Do you play any board games?

I never learned how to play chess but I do enjoy board games. Mostly, though, I'd rather play cards

Every time I have free time I always play chess, if I make a wrong move I will lose.

I play a lot of different board games on the computer. I tried playing chess; but I quickly got tired of it. It means learning too many different pieces and moves. Have a good day and a good weekend.

@LindaOHio Chess is a game of strategy. You will always have to think ahead and anticipate the moves of your opponent.

Chess has always been a game that just completely alludes me. I prefer Checkers. As for board games, I still count Monopoly as my favorite.

Heard both Checkers and Monopoly but I haven't tried playing both. I wish I could.

@porwest We can buy those in the Mall here but just didn't get to buy one. It's a bit expensive for me.

Yes, I like chess. I haven't played a real person for quite awhile but I have played the computer in recent years.

@snowy22315 playing with computers in a chess is also difficult. I rarely won

Yes, I do. I learned how to play in High school. Then I taught it to my grandkids. Last week, I played chess with an amazing 6 year-old boy at my workplace. We finished the game with a tie. I could see he had a plan and strategy to checkmate me. :-D

@everwonderwhy Wow. That boy is so amazing. Imagine a 6 yrs old playing chess and it's a tie? He has a future with that game.

Yes, I do! Hours of concentrating so much not to make the wrong move it hurts my brain. I also enjoy doing crossword puzzles and solitaire.

@dgobucks226 I play all the games you mentioned It's so amazing to see the chess players making their moves just seconds after their opponents move. They have memorizethe tactics

@renicemae I agree. Their minds can process the moves on the board so fast.
