I play "correspondence/turn-based" chess on over 30 sites. My favorite player is Paul Morphy.  I consider myself slightly above average skill wise. 

The three day chess torture is over and I emerge tied for 4th with 2 others in my section for NY state. Not bad. I didn't lose one game, but I think the draws hurt me a bit. I had 2 wins, 4 draws, 0 losses. 4/6 points. I'm happy...

The New York State Chess Championship is coming up next weekend. I've been hard at work, hard at play...always busy, always more to do and more to learn. Technique can improve, openings theory can go a little deeper, endgames could be...

Apparently I learned to play chess when I was 3, I don't doubt this but I'm no prodigy. I used to get frustrated when other young kids didn't know how to take turns, and years later in primary school still nobody in my class knew how to...

I find it helps me focus when I need to be making an important decision...it's the planning you need to do I guess

He's the one who taught me how to play. I think I started learning around age 8, and after a while I became a pretty powerful player. I used to participate in Chess tournaments in Public school, so I've learned the ins and outs of...

I learned chess when I was 10 or 11.. and took to it voraciously.  I started playing tournaments when I was 13, but since actually getting to these events proved to be almost impossible, I stopped competing within a year. ...

I play Chess every Saturday with a dear friend of mine along with several of his buddies as well and we all became fast friends and have lunch together and it's one of my favorite activity to do and helps me to think better on other...

... news at 11!   No, uh ...   The game is considered a draw after how many moves?  How many moves WHAT?
Street players say if your king moves 13 moves at the end of a game or some such sloppy nonsense that...

I have known how to play ever since I was young, but only really started when I got into high school. I have had some great games and won several trophies. I used to be the president of the chess club when I was in college.

I started playing chess since i was in Grade 2. My father is the one who introduce this game to me. Since then, to be a grandmaster is my dream. Now i am in college and also part of the team. On my first year college, I am the rookie of...

Like many people, I was first introduced to chess,by watching the famous Chess match between Spassky and Fischer,in 1972. I sat glued to the TV,and was messmerized,by the intricate constructions. The expert commentary sure helped. then...

Where were you when they finally finished the championship with this great final game?
 

I am not your stereotypical chess enthusiast.

I do not fit the popular mental image of the sweaty, bespectacled, disheveled, socially inept stutterbox chess player.

However, I am at times independently sweaty, disheveled and inept...

I play chess when I can find someone who will play. The fact that I like to play chess does not itself mean that I am actually good at playing chess! I am a terrible chess player and when I do find someone to play I usually loose...

I am facing a difficult level in my life "college". I am studying at the number 1 university here in my country. Everyone sees me as as a normal happy, friendly, cheerful person but deep inside i am depressed for I don't know what to do...

My uncle gifted me a chess board on my 9th birthday. It was my holidays and my dad was at the home too. So he taught me with all the moves and basic rules. It was easy to understand them. I won against my dad after playing 3 games in a...
