Argh I can't play chess. One because I don't know the rules and two because I find it boring. I'd much rather challenge people to stock exchange fueds and murder mysteries :rofl:

Top Trumps? Gah! Have you ever taken a T2 U/G Aggro-control to victory against a tempo metagame at regionals?

It is, as you say, rather like chess, but with better pictures.

I wonder how one can find something not boring if one doesn't know the rules.

No not if you have other cool hobbies I think its just those geeks who sit in front of a chessboard every lunchtime at college who make it uncool :biggrin:
