I used to be obsessed with chess. I would play all day long in my high school years. I was quite good in my day.

Would be nice to start playing again.

Every time we would play he would put the black and white pieces in each hand and have me pick one and I'd be that color. I would always choose my color before I picked and oddly enough I got the color I picked every singe time. We must have played over 30 games and I'm 100% guessing the color I wanted.

Good at guessing, suck at chess. lol


great new avatar !
i got into the game by playing with my dad as well.

This was a cool thread, I really have not thought about Chess in 3 years or so,I just put in a couple games and got some relevance back to how the game is played. I think I am actually going to start putting to use my Roman Lab DVD's by Roman Dzindzichashvili that I bought 4 years ago and never touched. They are really intense DVD's.

This thread inspired me to picking this up again as a hobby, I miss playing now.

Cute story.

One of my friend's proposed to his longtime girlfriend over chess. Needless to say they're both Russian. He plays professionaly (not sure about levels of competition in chess, but he's up there, dude gets paid) and he met his g/f after a tourney in NYC. Her brother was also in the competition, so she came to support him. They all went out afterwards to a bar and just started talking - that was 4 years ago.

Alright, so back to the story. They went to Rome for a "vacation", and he convinces her that one of his "dreams" is to play chess in front of the Colosseum... or on the steps or something like that.

Anyway they get there, he breaks out the board. And she's alright at chess, I guess, but he's obviously going to obliterate her. However he manipulates it so that the game ends in stalemate. As she's mulling over the board, checking her moves (which there are none of), he puts the ring on top of his king piece. So as she looks up, notices the ring, he asks her to be his queen (I know really cheesy) and she agrees.

I'm sure there's a ton of sappy proposals out there, but this one really took the cake. And speaking of cakes, at their wedding - on top of the cake, they had a king and queen piece, instead of the normal crap. And the wedding was black and white themed. Like - the guests on the brides side, all wore black, and the groom's all wore white.

Sorry man, that's the 3rd time today I been disocnnected from Yahoo Chess, I think it has to do with the fact I left my computer on all day and night yesterday and the ratio of players in Yahoo Chess 230+ players per room compared to Pogo Chess 90+ players per room.
