Urk: post #13 In your picture the chess men are set up wrong. The black king is on the right of the queen. I thought this might be a mirror image, but the clock on the wall looks ok.
As long as black moves first in that setup it's fine 
There's always TIC TAC TOE !!
If you want to do what pleases you, I believe you have chosen the wrong game. In chess, the board dictates you what must be done, not the other way around. As for losing 7 times in a row, I know it sucks, Ive been there. What keeps me going is that from every game I lose, I learn something new and grow stronger
