Can anyone play chess?
I can play chess. I quite like the saying "Knowing how to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. Knowing how to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.". Perfect excuse for not being terrific at it. But I know all the rules. Castling, en passant, all that jazz. I had a membership to Chess.com for a while, but the subscription fee kicked me when I was down one time so I stick to free now.
Never heard that saying before.
I can play chess, but not well - but I am a LADY (in the voice of David Walliams in Little Britain) he he...
The best takeaway I got from the series is that a key strategy to improving your game is a hidden projector pointed at the ceiling and telling Magnus Carlsen that you've taken Hikaru Nakamura captive.
Yeah, I enjoyed the queens gambit too - it made me take up chess again after years not playing.
Sadly I didn't pick up any tips how to play better though, so I'll never be a grand master (- mistress?)
Well there are certainly enough women grandmasters to render the saying rather antiquated, that's for sure. And there was that rather excellent Netflix series, The Queen's Gambit, that I enjoyed very much.
