But even many chess beginners play decently in the opening, since there are only a limited amount of moves and theory and opening prep is common these days.
everything has it’s “giveaways”

Well it’s true you can usually gauge skill level by an opponent’s moves.

for sure. I had hoped to get in a full game, however short it may have been. 🙂 She leaves for the mainland on Thursday…hopefully we get a chance to play prior. I am back to work as of Wednesday morning, but I have her contact info and she will be back in the states in September. keep ya’s allin the loop.
everything has it givaways. I will explain. I have been a competitive pool player for nearly 40 years. I don’t even need to see you shoot to know what I am up against. All I need to see is how you approach the table…how you hold your cue, your stance during the shot, and how you actually stroke the shot. These 4 things tell me everything I need to know for how I am gonna play.
Turns out, it is the same for chess. I was outside on my patio, running some famous games out on my board, when a girl visiting next door saw me, and stopped by. We chatted a bit, and she suggested a quick game. Well of course, a sexy little Chinese woman is hard to say no to.🙂 Her first few moves, showed me that she didn’t just make the trip across the yard to lose a game of chess. She stopped by to kick my ***. 😂 She was called back before we finished, but as it turns out, she is an assistant tournament director in Beijing, and is rated 2100.
I would not have won that game, but it got me thinking about how every sport (passtime) has “it’s thing”. a good tennis player…easy to spot. A baseball player? how effortlessly does he swing the bat? Golfer…there is a good one…good golfers are the easiest to spot, from the very first shot. 🙂
moral? stay on your toes folks, you never know when a little Chinese woman is looking to show you up at the board! Happy chess playing!
