Sadly, I am the world's worst chess player. You would be so bored with me quickly!
 
Sadly I have never had the patience to play chess. It's too slow pace. :/ And I can't think other opponents moves so I'm always beaten in chess x>
 
Oo chess! I'll play. You will probably cream me though lol.
 
My late husband was actually a tournament player. He would beat me in three moves sometime. He did it with such gleeful malice 9he was a hoot) I swore I'd never pay him again. He knew I was a novice! Such a meanie he was sometimes. LOL.

Oh, I miss that brat.

Aww, yeah. Diligence for thinking for opponent's moves is the key to not miss pieces/position. It is not very fun, but needed part of the play. Everypony have trouble with that, don't worry :)

Marble Dragon, oh cool! I suggest to play on chess.com if it is suitable for you. There are options for real-time play (Live Chess) or a turn per a few days (Online Chess). It is easy to find me, my nick is the same there, just drop a hello and I would know it is you. Also there is My Little Pony team with almost 100 members (a small team, yeah :) ), anypony can participate too!

LOL! But you surely not the worst player - the absolute record is two moves checkmate :).

He had a particular maneuver that would achieve checkmate in three moves. How I wish I could remember what it was called. My husband really was very serious about chess. I made sure I kept his board and now our son has it, although he doesn't play.

Perhaps he could learn! I would love if he did.

Oh, it's a Scholar's mate. It is easily avoided if you know how, and your opponent will have a worse position afterwards often. So it is really just to troll novice's, like your husband deed LOL.
Why, tell ActionHank to register at chess.com and surely he will find numerous of playmates of his level there. Also we can play with him from time to time too. Playing on real board is fun, but rarely achieved luxury nowdays - hard to find playmate in real life. But it is cool you saved your chessboard, does it have special design or something?
 
Heh! My husband was quite a rascal, and liked to tease me. After that though, he had to find other ways, because I refused to play him. His board is a portable wooden one that folds into a case to hold the pieces. It's very battered from years of play. He was in the military and probably learned to play there, so he took that board all over the world with him. It's well traveled, more so than I!

I'll try to get AH to join the site. I think he'd enjoy learning to play!

Makes it far more valuable. Now it has... stories to go with it.

I like to think it will be passed on until it falls to pieces.

I love family heirlooms. Their history is so precious.
