Was just wondering if anyone here plays?
I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

Nope, not since I got Rooked into a game the other Knight.  Later I found out I was a Pawn in a larger scheme being run by some chess King pin and his drag Queen friend.  I finally said this is all Bishop and got the hell out of there.

Nah it dont take brains to play, or even play well. Maybe it does to be a master or a grand master. But for club level play its more experience than intelligence.

I agree.  That is why I don't play much.  Similar to Go, it seems like the game is more pattern recognition than actual strategy.

well Go more so than chess. Most chess games at my level escape from the main line (if they ever where even there at all) within the first 6 or 7 moves. So strategy and theory definitely come into play every game. Now at the GM levels absolutely. Every game is pretty much the same for 25 moves each. Kinda boring

I play a little - use to play often - but now, I just don't have time. It would take away from smoke and drink time - which is definitely not going to happen.
