I want to use the skills I learned here in BHW. Take action, optimize my chess moves, scale it up and outsource ;)
Ha, just kidding, I loved playing chess, used to play it almost everyday a few years back but do not have enough time for it now.
 
Now this thread has suddenly come alive. I would message everyone who intends to play with my username on the website and guys and gals don't shy away, losing is not bad but not trying is. My father always said that Chess teaches us the way of life.
Few Lessons I learnt from Chess:
1) King, despite being the most important piece on the board is easily pawned by the Queen. :D
2) No matter how small your enemy is never take him/her lightly. Pawn is the best example.
3) Game is not over until you've won it.
4) A threat is deadlier and scary than its execution.
5) Foresightedness is one the greatest keys to success.
6) It's eventually the smart work that helps you stand out from the rest. Even a donkey works hard.
7) You can have your own unique style of winning because at the end all that matters is whether you won or lost.
8) It also teaches us Judicious use of our resources because we're all having limited resources until they regrow.
9) It teaches us how we can come out from even the worst circumstances and win the game. And that happens only if you don't quit till the last move and keep striving for a win. I had a friend who used to play till the last move even if he lost a majority of his pieces. I used to laugh at him. Today, he is an International player. He later said to me that if you're determined to win, and stick to your resolution until end, then your chances for winning increases drastically.
10) Last but definitely not the least is the need for
making strategy and plans. If you're living your life without any predetermined strategy and plan, then you are not living in the best possible manner.

 
@Marusia Your account is pretty much in good shape, sent you an invite.

To complete OP post, if you wanna be good at chess here is THE how.

You don't predict any move from your ennemy : Noob
You predict /force 1 move of your ennemy : You are an average player
You predict /force 2 moves to 3 moves of your ennemy : You are good (most of the people in playing a lot would be stuck here, it is sooo hard already)
You predict /force more than 4 moves of your ennemy : You are a pro. I believe the world record confessed is 7.

Not saying that you should do it all the time, but the most often as possible ;). And also between 2 good players, the one who gives the less latitude to the others when he predicts is the better.

it seems there were quite a few chess players out there, so anyone up for a game or two online?! I used to play competitively back in high school, reached rating of 2050 and then girls came ;d Still I do play a few games a month every now and then.
