Chess for Oldtimers --- Good Idea !

Sort:
Wits-end

I’d rather fight than switch.

Wits-end

If chess i supposed to help my mental functions, why can’t i remember what i went into the other room for? Or where i left my keys. Hey, maybe that’s what i went into the other room for. I’m not sure.

i bet you were looking for your wits.

Thanks for the posts.

Wits-end

Speaking of odometers, I’m sure glad they don’t send us to the junk yard when we reach 100,000 miles like the cars of yesteryear. When I’ve truly lost my wits as @AlCzervik alluded to, just set me in front of the window with a chess board and play a game with me, talk about the weather, and the price of bread.  As white, I’ll open the game with d4… just tell me i can’t. Go ahead and make me cry. Hey, it’s red jello today!!!

Getting older: you remember when all we had to save were the whales !

Wits-end

Or saving gum wrappers for the war. War bonds for that matter.

You are getting older because you remember when people got their news from the newspapers,
