Chess? -
July 1st 2011, 01:01 AM
(For those of you who are wondering: yes, chess is considered a sport!)
Just wondering who on TH enjoys playing; and if you study it at all, what's your favorite opening? When white, I enjoy the Sicilian (never really had the audacity to try the Queen's Gambit, but it is spectacular), and I prefer playing the King's Indian Defense while black.

I was actually finishing up a few online games just about now.
I was trained in the French and Nimzo-Indian. Both are fairly simple to play, I find. Statistically Sicilian and King's Indian are the openings with the best success rate as black, though I really really dislike the King's Indian until I have enough opening theory to back up on.

I enjoy playing it, but I've never been serious about it, so I just know the basics.
Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us - champions. Doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world is as it should be, to show it what it can be. |

I love playing it but I am not serious about it at all, I treat it like any other bored game and do not have tactics, I normally start by moving my pawn forward so my queen and bishop can move... that or I move the knight
