I just don't think that way...

Wow, chess is hard!!

Yeah, okay I know that probably goes without saying, but dang I am just not cagey enough to play. My kidlet recently expressed an interest in learning the game, so I did what and good ~crazy~ mom would do and I told her we would learn together.

What was I thinking???

Moves and counter-moves. Strategic placing of your bishops while your knight move around the board gobbling up the opponents pieces until whats left is a massacre.

Uncle, waving the white flag, make love not war?? Hellllllp me....

The vultures are circling my poor King...eek

Checkmate

And it's over. The computer on the other end of my free "easy-who are they kidding" chess wins again! What was it, less than 10 moves this time, ~sigh~

Back to the drawing board! I will learn this game....somehow.

~start new game~ I'll let you know how it goes.

  1. Serena, I feel for ya... I ventured into the world of Chess briefly, long ago.
    It's a game of war and it's game of thinking many moves ahead, or the strategic intrigue moves that are made at court.
    I decided I didn't have the time or the deep interest to continue. Although, the game fascinates me.

    Good luck!

  2. Thanks Savanna. I too find it very interesting, but honestly if it weren't for the kidlet, I'm not sure I would be learning it...
