A little more about my interests

Paddy

Hello again, everyone. In addition to the other interests that I mentioned in an earlier post, I am also very interested in playing strategic boardgames against the computer(although I am sadly not very good at many of them). My main favourites are Oware, Go, and Chinese, Japanese, and International chess. I have played them against computers for many years, on and off, and now I have started to enjoy playing them again recently.

Does anyone else find that their interests change over time, or do most of you tend to stick with the same hobbies or interests? I love trying new things, but that tends to mean that I never get very good with one particular thing. It's something I would really like to change about myself.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to comment.

  • Paddy, I have played online chess and particulary online 'postal chess' where you are given up to several days to make a move. I enjoy this form of chess because there isn't the pressure to make a move within minutes which I find suits me as it gives plenty of time for deep thought without the sensory overload.

    Funnily enough, I have just started two postal chess games on a well known international chess site and look forward to discovering what my opponents' moves are.  

    There's plenty of Android chess apps. too, which prove useful for studying chess. I sometimes go to my local library with my cell phone with me and set up positions from a chess book and go through the lesson that I happen to be on that day.
