im so pleased to have found a friendly chess forum that has that community feel that you look for in a good discussion board.
Just start playing as many games as you can, enjoy and make lots of mistakes.
Making mistakes is good for the learning process as long as you don't make the same one twice

You are not strong enough to teach me chess.
I don't claim to be a good player merely average, that is my point you are no better than average either.
I may or may not be a "newbie" to this site, that doesn't make me a newbie to chess. I have been playing since I was in white knees socks and navy blue knickers
I play all moves on RHP within 10 seco ...[text shortened]... ess, OTB I am a reasonable player at 35/75.
I doubt you could beat me at any time limit

2400 = Pretty poor at chess...why not take up golf?
2500 = Not bad, learning.....
2600 = Ok.....I guess
2700+ = Pretty good but still flawed a lot of the time.
Thats how I view all chess players 🙂
When the two best(?) players in the world miss a mate in 3 that most 1600's could solve it just goes to show how crap we all are.
I think people start to really learn chess when they know enough to know they are crap 😛
Originally posted by TurfmoorI actually don't see him trying to teach you chess. You are at a provisional 1600 rating. I believe that the threads RahimK started help people get to 1400 rating and other people get to 1600 rating. Hmm...sounds like you don't know what you are talking about and should probably get over your little aggressive ways.
You are not strong enough to teach me chess.
Besides, I thought the threads were immensely helpful.
Originally posted by DraxusIf the threads have helped to boost your rating to it's present level then they obviously serve a purpose, do i have to publish another apology?
