I don't know if this is an Aspie trait but this is one of my favourite games and it really suits me. I like to play tournaments online on a website called gameknot. I also used to play for my county when I was younger.

When I was your age and a bit younger I used to play chess a lot. My best friend and I played many games. Then in high school I played some against some older kids at school. Then I got one of the chess computers (we're talking back in the 1980s) and played it a lot. Then I began researching a little in books on strategies used in some famous games in big tournaments of the past. But now, I haven't played a game in a long time. But I would like to get back into it sometime.

I started playing when I was 5, got hooked at 7. Played actively till I was 13 and i got provincial colours. Then I got burned out by constantly going to tournaments every weekend, the constant traing etc. I continue to play even today but just socially.

If you wanna play online pm me and we can play over the net. What might be easier is if you sent your e-mail address and I can explain the rules of correspondence chess.

I don't play it as I don't know the rules. When I was younger I played with this little girl and I didn't have a clue what I was doing so I made up my own rules and she took my word for it :lol:

I mildly enjoy Chess, but I'm not very good at it. The game is too boring to look at for me to really be able to delve into it. I'm a bigger fan of war/strategy games like A Game of Thrones, Axis & Allies, and Britannia.

I like to play and I used to be on the chess team when I was a little kid but these days I get easily frustrated with it if I make a bad move and get kinda violent. Droids may not rip people's arms outta their sockets when they lose but I do.

I play "Chess Titans", which came with this computer when I'm browsing the 'net or typing. I like it enough. Plus, I've played some form of chess on most computers I've had ever since the first one awhile ago.

I prefer WinSPMBT for my strategy fix, however.
