If you're willing to learn there are lots of places to teach you.

So you wanna learn to play chess?

Chess is Fun

Some sites that will help you, if you want.



That's why you beat me in our last game then, right? Just winging it?

Yeah, but you destroyed me in the tournament games.

Becky's mom, if you are ever going to play Kratos, beware , he acts all innocent when it's just a normal match but when it's official he'll wipe the floor with you.

It will take me a while to understandthe game 1st to be honest, as I have never ever attempted to play it, I did ask my BF once to show me but he never did so I forgot all about it...TY for the link Kratos when I get the swing of it you will be the 1st i challenge

^ You could also sign up at Zone.com (need a hotmail account first) and play there. They have rooms for all levels of players from newbies, moderate, and so on. Plus it's user-friendly format on the board, including clocks for timed games. Practice makes perfect. and remember... we were all newbies once.

I may just do that as I do have a hotmail account

Or the match is for fun.

Pardon the interrupt. I just wondered, does anybody know how I can play chess free on the internet? I used to go to Bonus.com but now their site wont load the game. I'm Astrocat. I could use some help here.

Hey, Astrocat! Welcome to UM!

And yes, we sure do know how you can play free online chess. Just register for a free account at redhotpawn.com. We are all members there and I know some of us would be glad to play you also if you'd like a game. Again, welcome aboard!

As far as I can tell when I finish the three games I have going on now, I will be finished.

My record in intramural chess this week is 11-1. As a matter of fact, I've been having winning or break-even weeks since November. And this is all weird considering I haven't won a single game in this tournament. Most of my victories were over members of the chess team. And it's not like the chess team's bad or anything.

Or maybe they actually are really bad. Or maybe you're all just really good. It doesn't make sense.

We are all just really that good Kev!

If Dowdy and Ashley would shake a stick I could be finished...

Looks like Thistle overcame my curse. (hehe, congratz Thistle)

5th place isn't too shabby though.

I'm doing pretty good against you right now. I reckon i got you, but than again it's chess. Anything can happen

if any one would like a friendly game i've got an opening right now. my name on rhp is ciraxis, i look forward to playing

Ok, I've started a game
