I have been playing a lot of chess online against a computer. Rather enjoyable, but the computer goes immediately for the jugular. It takes me quite awhile to block all those attacks and then go on my own offensive.

I did play a lot when fishing, either on my own or more often with a fellow 'Carp man'.....there's a lot of waiting involved with carp fishing!

I do play occasionally against my PC, but I'm not really any good at it.

I can check mate. I've been playing on and off for 65 years + now. That Queen is a bit of a mover....

The only thing wrong with Chess.com is that it does not have enough opponent "rating" scales. I usually play against an opponent rated at 800. Even still, that opponent ( coach Mae) goes right to my throat immediately.

I play chess with my 6 year old grandson, he usually manages to beat me.
