I was in the chess team at primary school, we got to the national schools semi-finals :cool:

Went to secondary school and nothing, plus chess players are regarded as geeks there :rolleyes:

Also shockwave chess is good as well, and doesn't require you to sign up.

I played in some competition against adults mainly, but didn't do very well, i won by first game and then it went horribly wrong. :frown:

When pitted against fellow pickles, however, i owned.

This guy at my old school was like a super genius at chess and I used to go to a chess club with him, I got bored of playing with the other kids so I played his dad and I beat him, except some of my friends didn't believe I had beaten him because the dad was supposed to be better than the super genius.

I have 2 brothers, one is 5/6 years older than me and when I was a lot younger like 6/7 I used to play him at chess and always beat him, then he beat me up because I had won :frown: My dad refused to play me from about the age of 9 because he couldn't take it that I could beat him

lol that's so sweet, you little chess champion. Some people are just sore losers, my dad always used to let me win when i was worse then him, and i became able to give him a good game, then became better - but he never stop wanting to play me. :smile:

My mum's rubbish, she protected her queen more than her king, wasting the best piece, and then she poked me in the eye with a knight once because i took her precious queen after about 15 moves. As for my sister, her and chess don't belong in the same sentence, "Stop calling those knights, they're horses!"

Well, the cure would be to get a firewall with site blocking abilities and just block UKL.

Best place to play is www.chessclub.com. (paid but u can play as a guest).
Get membership if you love chess tho...worth it for sure.

FICs (freechess.org) used to be okay...but I'm sure someone told me they are going paid/ have just become paid...which sucks when the players aren't even that good.

Playsite.com sucks cuz people are either crap or Fritz you. Same with yahoo.

Playchess.com is cool, but u only have 30 days full acess before u gotta pay. U get a whole year if you've got Fritz.
