Chess is an amazing game

[Inspect Her Deck]

Used to play it a ton when I was younger, then kinda forgot about it and got washed by my uncle over the last few years, so it motivated me to get back into it.

It's really true when they say chess is a mirror image of successful life planning, always be one move ahead of the obstacle in front of you (be it an opponent or facet of life).

Anyway, I'm sure some of you Coli members play chess. What level are you at? Do you prefer white/black? inb4

Also, for those more advanced players, what kind of strategies do you like to play with white/black? Are you an offensive/defensive-minded player?

Any chess related discussion is welcome here.

Love that shyt.......I've taught all my kids how to play....if you've ever played organized sports and liked drawing up them plays this would be a good game for you...I have to say I'm pretty damn good......

I don't know how to play. I only know that the punk piece moves like 2 spots of some shyt.

Used to play it back in the 8th grade. This “mentor” kind of dude would come to my gym period and we would go to his office and play, no (fukk y’all nikkas)

I wasn’t good at it, and I never beat the dude but MAN, that shyt was so fun to me. I knew how to play and how the pieces moved (except the knight piece, it moves in a L pattern and it’s confusing) .

I was thinking about getting a board but I don’t have nobody to play with

I'm ight.

I like to castle to make the game mine and unfair for u even if you pick white pieces
Once I see you a pawn and horse killer (usually small time in real life)the queen and bishops bout to tear ya ass up.

Play online or something

That’s the logical solution but playing virtually takes away from the experience imo. It’s more fun to have the actual pieces in front of u. I guess the online shyt is good for some brain stimulation.

"punk" piece

you can always play online. chess.com. if you ever want games, lemme know. my username is like this one.

knight moves basically in straight lines (never diagonal). so it goes 2 spots in any direction (forward/backwards whatever) and then one to the left right so it forms the L-shape as you said. It can do it in any direction.

one of my goals early on is to always prevent a dude from castling. not saying castling will guarantee someone success but I like to leave their king exposed in the middle if possible. so if I can get a check where I force the king to move (even at the cost of exchanging queens), I'll usually go for it
