Is chess addictive ? It is for me. I love playing, winning is nice but playing is the thing. ( A very British attitude .) I'm hooked on Tournaments, I luv em. You meet lots of new people see different approaches to your same old opening, and learn... Read more »

Most people think material is very important in chess. Obviously, if you have less pieces, in general you have a worse position. Especially if you are more than a queen down... But chess isn't just about material. It's also about how active the pi... Read more »
