I have many openings that I like to use... although they say the best form of defense is to attack, I often find my style of play very defensive, just waiting for the offensive player to make a mistake. This style of play is fine and can get you far, but not against an advanced player. I actually used to play for the school chess club in Trinidad and the US.

I was in chess club in "junior high" school -- age 11 to 13. Right around that time, I discovered "boys" and so chess went right out the window, unfortunately. I was never that great of a player anyway, so no great loss there.

I taught my son to play when he was six and he was also in chess club in his teens. He still plays occasionally, but he focuses more on RPG than anything else these days.

IT'S YOUR MOVE -- CHESS IS MORE THAN JUST A GAME; IT DEVELOPS ANALYTICAL SKILLS FOR LIVING

Ramiro Zapana devises his plan soon after the first pawn moves. He is quick to formulate his offense as piece after piece leave the board. He fortifies his defense by strategically moving his castle, knight and bishop. He knows what moves he'll make long before he makes them.

I've had an on-again, off-again romance with the game. During the times when I'm focused on it I become extremely single-minded in my devotion to the game, spending several weeks in studying classic games and theory. I've never kept that intensity for more than a few months at a time. Inevitably, my mind will wander to another of my passions and it will be a year or two before I go back to it.

I really like chess, but lately I played just occasionally. My father taught me to play and at the age of 14 I used to constantly beat him. At the University I had a friend and we played on and on, sometimes till the morning. We were about the same "calibre". After I finished my studies I stoped playing (I started to work). As for my style of playing ... I like to play offensive, sometimes I "risk" too much ... I like to feel the adrenalin rush after I think of a combination and I wait my opponents move.

I was wondering if there was such thing as "beginner's luck" in chess. I played a game of chess against a friend of mine who I would consider quite academic and definitely more academic than I am. He would pride himself on how many of his/our friends he had won against and I had played no more than 4 or 5 games in my life before this game yet I won. So in your opinion could it be beginners or was he out smarted or would you have to witness the play to determine?

What I see is that sometimes beginners are using such basic moves and strategy, that the more experienced player is looking for the more complex, and the beginner just slips the win in under the radar (so to speak).

One of my cousins is a world class chess player. One time, we were playing a "timed" game. He made an illegal move, and I noticed it two moves later. I won the game by default. There is no way that I could ever have actually beat him.
