Any experts on here? Any good tips for beginners?
I know the rules, the basics but playing against the computer I get hammered all of the time as I dont start off with a game plan. Then sometimes end up with 2 pieces chasing around the board.
Whenever I look online, it is all over complex!
A great little documentary with Susan Polgar...
Explains a little of whats going on in the mind of a chess player from a young age.
a chess server? Safe to say you know your stuff then!Paul Turong is her husband. We use to administrate the same chess server together, and with others, of five different national federations. They have some very mischievous and fun personality characterisics.

I like those miniature chess sets with the pegboard where the pieces slot into little holes. You can turn them upside down and the pieces don't fall out. You can also turn the board around and play yourself. I used to make one move as white then the next day make my move as black. I would keep going that way one move per day. Gives you plenty of time to ponder the position and the alternative moves.Nick, buy an actual chess set. Play a real game with your daughter. <snip>
I play tournament and club chess locally, around 1900 over the board and 2000+ online. Taking a break from it for the last few months while I get settled in a new role but will get back into it at some point next year.Anyone on here still playing chess?
I play a lot online.... on longer games, 10mins and upwards, my rating usually hovers somewhere between 1800-1850...... if i really spend time studying i find myself pushing well into the 1900's, but that requires a lot of time for me.
I most often play 3mins, with 2-second increments.... obviously this is more of a rushed game and my rating is generally around 1600.
Used to play many "over the board" tournaments in my teens, and also played in the chess league for Nuneaton, but really that was given up by about 14.
Got a nice "antique" Isle Of Lewis chess set on the coffee table as well, but never played an actual game on it!
My rating at puzzles is consistently higher... which probably indicates i've got the aptitude for the tactics to be higher rated, but don't put enough time or effort in to really advance my game.
