[Sportsandrec] chess

[Maurice & Leigh]

Hey LM,

Well, I completed the Hadley School course, "Chess For Beginners," which is
very comprehensive, probably more than most folks would want to learn.  For
example, it goes into how to plot moves using the chess algebraic code
thingie, whatever it's called, as well as how to draw Forsythe diagrams.
Besides that, however, it did a great job at teaching the various moves and
tried to set me up for the next intermediary course on beginning chess
strategies which I haven't quite worked up the nerve to get into just yet.
Frankly, I'd have to review before I'd be any sort of reliable chess
instructor, heck, I have yet to even play my first game.  Sorry.

Maurice

> Hey, anyone going to DC who knows how to play chess and is willing to
remind me how to play? I'd really like to learn again, but I refuse to be
taught by my husband. He looks at my hands and tries to figure out my moves
and plans accordingly.
