They say comedy cures as well,,,,,,,,,,,,that was funny

I've found that playing my chess games on a board helps me get better. So I look at my game on the computer, then make my opponents move on the board. Intense staring and thinking follows. I then choose my favourite blunder, go to the computer and make it.

 If you were to put a chess board up stairs, laptop down stairs, well you can see where I'm going with this.

Obviously, you can only really play one game, so probably best doing live chess, rather than sitting at the board for 3 days :)

 Before you know it, you'll be a slim man with big chess skills.

Good idea vance now I will tip you with the same kind of money

There may be an easy solution.  A few years ago I wanted to sign up for a function which included a sumptuous dinner.  I didn't have enough money in my wallet so I told the organiser, "I'll email you the money."

"No problem," she said. "I'll email you the food!"

That's your solution Osubuckeye:  eat only virtual food.  It has only virtual calories. 

Good idea Vance!

Thanks chessdadx2

I used to work out with a deck of cards.  It's been a while, but it was something like this.  One suit would be push-ups, another sit-ups, another jumping jacks, and the fourth was squats.  The number of reps would match what the card showed, with obvious modifications for picture cards.  Anyway, one can envision something similar with chess.  Make a move, ten push-ups.  Take a piece, do 20.  Lose a piece, squats.  Lose the game, run a marathon.  You get the idea!

I am there with you, my friend. Good Luck and stay the course!!
