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...
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.
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?)
