does anyone else play chess apart from me?

[hoppy]

:cry:

 

[Lawra]

Yes, why?

 

[princessparrot]

yeah. not as much though

 

[Umbral]

Well when I do play it isn't with you so I guess that means I play apart from you?

 

[Kurtis]

I Do

Very unusual questions, though you have my attention.
Oh and the answer is sometimes

I used to, but now I have so many other games. And I don't have time for 2 player games, somehow it's easier to get a group together. I don't know how that works. I've been trying to play Tide of Iron for ages now, and we rarely get time for it (I want to play it enough to justify buying the new expansion). And then there's Netrunner...

I used to play weekly with friends and workmates a long time ago.
Board and pieces only I don't like playing it as a console or PC game.

Well when I do play it isn't with you so I guess that means I play apart from you. nice one umbral

chess makes me think

great fun working out new strategies against tricky opponents

much prefer faster games to long drawn out ones though

Love chess.
I play and teach.
My twin boys (11 yrs old) playing in a Tournament tomorrow, and in State Champs in October...and then hopefully National champs later this year.

Its good to hear that chess hasn't died right out. As a younger kid not many of my friends ever played chess, found most people who played were older generations hence making it harder to win.

I don't have an account on boardgamegeek, I should but one forum is procrastination enough. My better half spends most of his time on rpg.net.

Me and my friends got into board games thanks to Arkham Horror and Battlestar Gallactica. Now we own significantly more than that. Space Alert has to be a favourite, because losing is fun.

Diamondro I play chess to and im eleven years old. I to will be playing in state finals in October, and I will also be playing in Victorian youth championships in Melbourne next week. BTW are your boys playing in Victorian youth championships next week if so I might see them there. also what are your two boys ratings?

and your boys names, so I can figure out who they are at states or at Victorian youth if they go.
of course you don't have to give me there names I understand that people like to be private over the internet.
also I may have played them before in a tournament in Melbourne never know

Hi Hoppy,
