Anyone play?
I first leaned from my father at about 7 years old.
I played with him a bit now and then until I went to university. Of course I always lost. Kind of like playing pool with him until later in life when I could win, but that is another thread..
Then I started plying with friends at university and suddenly my win to loss ratio shot up dramatically.
It seemed without my being aware of it my dad taught me a thing or two...
Of course there we a couple of guys I could never beat (bastards ;)) but I (almost) always enjoyed the learning experience.
Then I didn't play for a few decades (life you know) but then I started again recently (2 weeks or so) playing against the computer and iPad programs/apps. At this point on both types I am about a 5 out of 10.
But for me the main thing that I have noticed is that since playing chess again (at 51) my brain already feels more "fit".
