Chess Debut
I'm now beginning to learn how to play chess and I must say that it has been a great pleasure for me. I've spent the greater part of my life doing what I needed to do -- study, earn degrees, earn money, take care of my family, exercise, beauty routines -- and now I'm focusing on what I want to do. I've always wanted to play chess. Now is my time to learn, practice and maybe learn how to be less on the defensive doing most of my games.

In the beginning of your game, move your queen to h5. Then after your opponent moves, take the pawn on e5 in your next move. Now the rook is ripe for the picking . . . because your opponent has to worry about protecting the king.

I have been playing chess at moments when I should not be. I guess it is really common sense to play chess when you can set aside the time to think out each move and make your plans, strategies, etc.... But the problem is, the game is so fun that ... Read more »
