 Chess is a very strategic and challenging game. At first , chess might seem hard and boring game. Thats what I thought when I started playing, but once you learn the basics, it turns out to be very fun and satisfying game. I strongly encourge for anyone who reads this, to introduce chess to your friends and maybe start a chess club to your school if you go to one.But anyway just have fun playing.

Well of course chess is satisfying, it is even more then that, chess is a feast for your mind. I love chess, chess is like fine art, except not the kind you look at and say "what?" it is living it is what makes my world go round! If someone was to solve chess as impossible as it is, then I would probably die of sadness. I love it so much that I re-instituted the chess club at my school and since, made it the second most prosperous high school club in the district.

Yeah, I tried introducing chess to my friends and housemates in my freshman year. By the end of my first semester I was threatened to be ostracised from the dorm for being a nerd! yeah thanks but no thanks. Pretty much everyone who was fascinated at first got bored after 3-5 games and thought that football and even soccer was a much better option to kill time. Hell even 'foosball' was considered a much better alternative!..and of course video games ruled the whole college circuit anyway. Needless to say I stuck with the game but never mentioned it to others. I myself am amazed as to what made me stick to it. Maybe a rethinking of priorities is needed?
