Don't you think that programming and chess somehow go together very well?:cool: I mean, both requre a great amount of patience and contemplation, planning, ..:rolleyes: --- http://sprdsoft.cmar-net.org - We Sprd You Softly Our site features contents and several images.

I love chess. I have always loved chess, but the problem is that I am just very average at it. I would like to play, but it's no fun getting your butt kicked all the time. ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸

I second that statement! I like chess, but am not very good. I found a chess teaching program called CT-Art a while back, very good program:), but no time to play it recently:( CT-Art is availiable somewhere on this website.[^]

That should be no problem, on queen alice you get your own rating, and no matter how average it is you can always find someone who's a close match :cool: I bet you'd do a whoop-butt on some players I've seen there:laugh: Seriously, if you like chess, you won't regret joining queen alice, it's The CodeProject of chess!:-D --- http://sprdsoft.cmar-net.org - We Sprd You Softly Our site features contents and several images.

LOL:laugh: My point exactly, if you take a look here[^] you will see that the lowest rating is 918, which is..well..as low as ratings can go I guess :) I'm quite sure you guys are better than that;P --- http://sprdsoft.cmar-net.org - We Sprd You Softly Our site features contents and several images.

Not to mix metaphors here, but that sure sounds like a poker-faced response :).

Well, I love chess, but I wanted to tone down the "you're on!!!!" response. :) I can see though, a new slew of CP sigs, with their chess sign-on names. I'll have to update my sig now... :~ Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally. At least [with Wikipedia] you have the chance to correct the wiki -- Jörgen Sigvardsson

I like chess - not very good at it though, but it's fun to play.

I used to live eat and breath chess (1200 level I think), but like my pool (ranked 7 to 8) phase I eventually lost my drive and started concentrating on my coding. You ought to step away from the computer, purchase an electronic chess board and play that. It will kick your but your game will improve. I gave one to my niece (8 at the time) and she learned how make almost perfect openings, but she did not know what to do after that. I think she learned that much by having it play its self. Any way sitting at an actual board is the best way I know of to learn the game. INTP Every thing is relative...

:cool: Thank you for the site! I may even start playing again my self. Programming and Chess absolutely go together. They both require the same mind set, if you like solving problems then both the game and the occupation are right for you. INTP Every thing is relative...

I used to spend large chunks of my day on the Internet Chess Club, but it's been a few years now. I still have a decent collection of chess books, but I never really got better than average. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

Man... I'm a programmer for hire and just finished an enormously stressful and intense project. For me the game of chess (though I do enjoy it) is not the release I need. At the moment I need to blow dust of the railgun and go get Quaked. Either that or fire up the Xbox and dual weild some plasma rifles as I hunt covenant. Yeah, I'd like that right. Reality though means that instead I took my 3 children (ages 1,4,5) to my house that will be ready for occupancy in 2 days sat out back on the patio on the stone (no furniture) on my buns and lazily watched them play in the dirt piles. I even took the extra effort to toss small pebbles at them which they all enjoyed. I think my wife went off to explore other houses being built in the area. I just sat, and I sat and I sat. What I really enjoyed most though was not having to think. Yes that's quite right. Not having to think was very nice. This of course is due to just finishing up 100 hour weeks since December because of some very bad things happening all at the same time and someone (me) having to develop 3 websites at once. I wanted to learn ASP .Net and I'm much further along than I was before but the price was almost to great. So I'm just going to sit quietly and drool distantly while I watch my children play. If you are tempted to think I'm dead or insane (neither correct) wait a minute. I'll move periodically to lift a glass of ice tea to my mouth and guzzle furiously before lapsing into another relaxed stupor. Then I'll get motivated and throw another pebble.:laugh: - Rex
The enemy's gate is down. :cool: Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog[^] now. People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog. The act of using CPhog alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)
