Saturday, July 05, 2008What does Chess Represent for you? by Goldie
The Chesshere.com Team just made me an offer I cannot refuse. Imagine, ‘tell us a story and if we like it, I just might get a free premium membership, free’ and mention in - chessheres blog. Well like most other folk who play chess, I guess, the problem will never be telling a story but, rather which story to tell now, where to begin and how long it should be. Well this story is going to be short and about the first and only time I beat England’s first Chess Grandmaster, Tony Miles. Please, don’t rush off to Wikipedia, you won’t see mention of this contest there or in Geoff Lawton’s publication, ‘It’s Only Me’ (an anagram on the name Tony Miles) or any other publication for that matter. This is a historical first mention.
Tony Miles came to affirm in me certain qualities, about chess and life and it is these shared best qualities that have come to represent what chess means to me, a playe ... Read more >>>
Saturday, July 05, 2008What chess means to me by guestfighter
Chess to me is a life style. The way one plays chess will go a long way to tell about one’s inner most characters. It usually tells if you are a cruel or greedy or even of a comproming nature.
My history with chess goes back about 17 years ago, precisely 1991 when i first go introduced to it by my elder sister. Immediately ,i got interested and within weeks i was beating my brothers and sister silly. In my county,i went in search of chess players and i made sure that i was winning the best players . Even after suffering defeat initailly i nerver got discouraged.
Unfortunately, there were ... Read more >>>
Thursday, July 03, 2008What chess means to me by sneaky1 by Sneaky1
I started playing chess in 1988. It was during the apartheid era here in south africa. When riots were too out of control schools would shut down for long periods and kids would be taught in different locations in make-shift classrooms under heavy duress. One of our educators brought a chess set to school oneday made with card board cut-out pieces and a cardboard chess board. She taught us to play chess. Today I am 30 years old. My teacher have since passed on. But her knowledge she has imparted by teaching me such a beautiful game will be with me forever. I love this game. And I may not be a good player, but it makes me think of where I've been in life and what I have accomplished since my very first move I have ever made.
Thanks

Is a millennial and admirable game. After centuries and centuries of people playing chess, remains in this sport (art, or science) some impenetrability. As all the studies, plays, reviews or books, there is still no formula game or a method that guarantees victory.

So what does chess represent to me? To me, chess represents everything, it is simply the best. Chess is a battle, a psychological battle at times, its about proving that your stronger. Chess is an ancient game, played by the kings, and now we play it.
I started chess since I was a little kid, with my grandpa, now I'm 15 and still playing and enjoying it. It is a thrilling sport with millions of moves, combinations, strategies and so on.
Chess for me is fun, social gathering, excitement, exhilirating sport, a battle, and the most...it is enjoyment.
I really hope you guys read this and like it since I recieved an email from you asking me what chess represents for me, and for me chess is simply the best game ever created.

For me, chess is everything, it is my ultimate goal, it is the battle of wits, of mind and will. It is who gives up first, it is who plans everyhing out, it is a battle.
I started playing chess since I was 7, and got hooked, now Im 15 and still playing, my grandpa brought me into this game, and now I strive to be the best, I made a lot of friends playing chess.
At school at our chess club or just with some friends at home. I enjoy chess as a sport and as a social game, as a competition, or just for fun. Chess can be played young and old and thats the neat thing about it.
I dont know why, but for chess is simply the best game out there, it is outhinking your opponent, it is proving yourself stronger, it is trying to come up to the top. Chess can be described in thousands of words, but for me there is one word... and thats enjoyment.
Forever
