If you haven't done it make a chess.com profile and start digging away at that game. The most fun you'll have is right up until you get good so enjoy those early days of constant revelations.

...The queens we use would not excite you.

I prefer lichess.

I usually play on Lichess, but made a Chess.com account because of this post. I stomped my first game (new account and I've been playing for a few years) and the guy spent a full 3 minutes staring at the board before resigning. Not playing through, just clearly wasting time.
I understand wanting to look for an out, but this was literally my king, bishop, and four pawns versus his king alone. It seems like clear trolling to me, and I've seen this stuff maybe a handful of times on lichess.

I knew a guy who would set an egg-timer when playing yahoo chess(this was a very long time ago). People who would piss him off got the egg-timer treatment where he would make his move at the last possible second to make a match take hours. Meanwhile he would be off doing other shit. The kicker was if they left it counted as a loss.

5D chess is also very addictive

Okay, does this one speak English? The one responding does not.

E: Also, where have you been, niggerfaggot? You disappear?

E: (I heard you got something.) Nice, isn't it!

Gaming is for faggots. At least that's what non-gamers say.

It's a complete waste of time and brain cells. Spend time learning useful skills instead. How to build and repair stuff.

[ - ] ruck_feddit 4 points 3.2 yearsMar 7, 2022 14:23:59 ago (+4/-0)

Yeah, fuck chess and reading the classics and learning history. Being a well rounded western man is for fags.

Better to be Carl from sling blade. He could fix anything!

I've played plenty of chess many years ago. IT"S A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME. IT'S A FUCKING WASTE OF BRAIN CELLS. Seriously, it's a perverse game that has no use in the real world. None. What are you going to do with your "well rounded western man" chess knowledge?

[ - ] ruck_feddit 0 points 3.2 yearsMar 8, 2022 19:03:46 ago (+0/-0)

If you really have to ask, then you can't afford it. It really is that simple.

Clearly being a chess enthusiast doesn't guarantee reason.

[ - ] albatrosv15 2 points 3.2 yearsMar 7, 2022 13:38:27 ago (+2/-0)

Right spot on, comrade. How many beers you already had today, super manly man?

[ - ] chrimony 0 points 3.2 yearsMar 7, 2022 19:41:05 ago (+0/-0)

No beers. But I did use a circular saw today.

Chess is like Poker or any other similar game. They are memorization games. The problem is that once you take it seriously and start memorizing every card played or mapping out and remembering every possible chess move for you and your appointment, it becomes less of a game and more of a complicated exercise. It takes all the fun out of it because the only thing you really ever get out of it is winning, which currently has zero payout unless you are playing for money, which again, is not fun.

If you want a tangible brain exercise with real world results, try computer programming. I think it's funner than chess or poker and can turn into a career. Sure you could try playing chess or poker professionally, but it only has one single avenue, beat everyone else. There are thousands of avenues to success in programming. You could end up programming factories, robots, games or write a program to automate/replace a spreadsheet.
