Playing Chess Online
By Mike F. Prince

I can still recall back when I first discovered computers. Remember back in the 80s when we had machines like the Tandy 1000 and such? Wow, were these every stellar innovations! You could type on them, and then you could also type on them. Hey, the list goes on. No but really; the old home computers had to start somewhere, right? When I was in high school, I liked to play computer games. However, the first time I tried this, I was utterly shocked. Dear God, the computer beat after only one move. Apparently the move I made was not the right move. This was intimidating, no doubt. Would I ever be able to beat this darn thing? Well, after about a dozen games, I did it. I was victorious! These days I enjoy playing online once in a while. Now, if you're considering this, just remember, these people are freaking good. In fact, I'm starting to think it's all they do. Chess can be a complicating game at times. Okay, it's mainly when opponents bust out moves like "knight 2 to bishop 7." Well, what does that mean? I never claimed to be a pro. Stop making the game more confusing than it really is. I was watching a movie last weekend that had a really cool reference in it. It's called "Cry Wolf." The lead female in the film was chatting with her buddies about plotting a murder game on campus. However she became frustrated when she realized they were not on her level. She said "It's like you all are playing checkers and I'm playing chess." Yeah, that's an awesome piece of dialog right there. It's a one-liner that should go down in the history books. Regardless, the point is that is a much more intricate and sophisticated game than checkers is. Or many games for that matter. When it comes to

If you're a newbie at chess, then playing online may prove a tad difficult. Then again, you can always find beginner websites or purchase some inexpensive software that will help you get better and learn the game first. This way when you're playing online against some pro, you'll at least move twice before getting your king handed to you.
