Any Chess Players?

Do we have any Chess players in this forum? Anyone that has a love for the board game?

I do, I love Chess... My opinion, way better than Checkers.

I play, I love that game.

I'd say they're both fun games,

*Playing chess*

Other Player: *Moves Rook to my side of the board* King me!
Me: This is chess, you don't King people.
Other: Oh.
Me: *Moves Pawn to the other side of the board* Queen me.

That got some mad and confused looks from him.

LOL that's funny.

XD Funny? It's HILARIOUS! I made a chess game for a science project. =p

Gotta love the queen.

Ofcourse. If not you'd most likely die!!

Speak for yourself,

I played a guy, lost my queen in the beginning of the gameplay, then I won the game without the queen, while my opponent had one.

It's all about getting in your opponent's head. One mistake and you're screwed, lol.

True.

The game is about pressuring the king. Whoever can apply a steady "check" to their opponent will force them to protect one piece at the expense of others. I hate facing people who "check" my king in the beginning of the match, I almost never win.

@Ganon - Ever heard of 3 move checkmate? ( can't remember the exact name )

Yes, you're correct. You have to think what's going to be the next move of your opponent. You have to get in their head. Think - be both players. Decide why your opponent made that move. What is he/she trying to achieve in 3-5 turns of the game. That's just how I play. You can tell I can't be beaten easily,

I have not heard of the 3 move checkmate. I'm gonna Google that now.

Jeez, Big Bang. You sound like a scary player, haha. My strategy is more for fun than practical, but I basically attempt to remove every one of my opponents pieces before I get the checkmate. It's a long, but oh so rewarding process.

I've had the 3 move checkmate used on me along with the 4 move checkmate . Ugh I got mad.

I think there are two types of "3 move checkmates".

One, which you can block and one which you can't block, but that depends on how you set up your pieces at the start of the game...

I haven't played chess in a while and I don't really talk about "3 move checkmates", but I think the "3" is the moves of one player...

I don't know, Ill have to do more research hmmm...
