Chess.

I've been playing a bit of a Chess of late, does anyone else play? I'm pretty new to it, but very much enjoying the game so far. If anyone wants to 'give me a lesson', I'll bring my Chess set along one Tuesday...

UPDATE:

Me and John have been playing a couple of games online, on chess.com. If anyone else wants to play a game or two online, let us know and I'll add your chess.com username to this list:

Jamie : cosmic4z
John : JonKninght

Jamie, you've reignited a childhood interest so I've bought a little set to practice with. I'll be happy to play with you. I'm hoping I'll improve by playing games with a guy at work too.

Great stuff Karl!

Yeah, there's something about Chess that very much appeals to me. Had a interesting (and close) game with Paul G 2 last night; which resulted in a draw (by agreement). Happy to play anyone, anytime though.

If you're interested in improving, there are loads of resources available online. This is is worth a watch; discussing the basic tactics you can employ to capture pieces etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv7_0svOlQU

Also, there's a chess.com app; if anyone fancies an online game (think my username is 'cosmic4z'). The chess.com app also has chess tactic problems, think you get 5 a day, and also a free daily chess puzzle to solve.

Hi Jamie, I've set up a chess.com account and sent a challenge over. It's JonKnight if anyone's else wants a game

lol looks like I've actually signed up as JonKninght and now can't amend it........oh bother!

You've inspired me to reignite my childhood interest in Backgammon and Reversi. If you fancy a game of either, let me know.
