Chess

Anyone play chess? I was too tired to read last night. But my brain decided I wasn't too tired for chess. I made the mistake of playing the Chess game that came with OS X for the Mac. It killed me. Over and over. No matter what, it always had me at a disadvantage within three or four moves, followed by a slow death. It has been years since I've played with any regularity, so I'm not surprised by losing. But I would at least expect a few moments of glory. None. And yet I kept playing. After reading on some forums that the OS X chess game is nearly unbeatable, I didn't feel so bad. And I no longer wish to play it again. But now I'm itching for a game against an opponent, machine or otherwise, that isn't perfect. Even a long distance game, making one move a day via email or LJ comments would be cool.

That OS X Chess is a bitch and a half. I tried it a few times, had my ass handed to me, and gave up. It made me feel like such a dumbass within moments, so you're not alone. Nowadays I only play with Kira, so I feel mighty.

I may need to challenge her. There's nothing like beating a little girl to raise my self esteem.
