I may have to check this out sometime. It's been a long time since I even looked at a chess board.

I don't know how to play. I like checkers.

Tom- Chess.com is one of the best online chess sites, of many.

Excellent for all skill levels, including beginners. Play against the computer

or live players, from all over the world. I encourage you to learn, you won't regret it.



Good Luck.

I once heard that there are more permutations of the possible moves in chess there there are atoms in the known visible universe...



atoms in universe: ~10^77

possible moves in chess: ~10^120



The exact number possible moves or "legal events" in chess has never been calculated only approximated...



Just thought that was an interesting fact.

IBM's "Deep Blue" computer was capable of evaluating 200 million chess positions per second.



In 1997 the computer defeated world champion Gary Kasparov, in controversy.



Many chess experts considered the loss, "a sad day for the human race". :cry:

Tom,,Im with you. I like checkers. I never could catch on and get my head into chess. Im amazed to watch some players. When they play a fast game, though.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Chess isn't hard to learn. Much more fun than checkers, IMHO.



For those that don't know how to play, I suggest you add learning chess to your bucket list.
