So I am suddenly obsessed with the idea of chess..

summer · 06.22.2009, 04:28 AM

I don't know much about the game, but I've been playing it a bit the past couple of days, and I'd like to learn more maybe? Are there any good non-Wikipedia websites on it for beginners and/or a good book to buy for it? Maybe a good online chess community? =D

Yeah, chess is pretty cool. Just learned how to play it about 2 weeks ago..

this is quite good if you want to learn to play chess

I like to play, but I'm not very good and hardly ever get to.. I'm not sure which one is the cause/symptom there. It's something I'd play with friends.. if any of my friends played chess. But they don't.

a game of chess is like a sword fight.

you must think first...before you move.

i used to play this a lot when i was a kid. i called it "awale" though (a quick search through wikipedia confirmed me those were really aliases of the same game)
and this one does indeed look amazing
