Yes, I like chess too. I think many feel it isn't as interesting as the blinking lights and repetitive noises a computer game offers, however it's one of the all-time great strategy games loaded with battles on the board and in the minds of the players...It's a great game. I don't play well, I mean I'm no whiz, but I get by. I taught my wife to play and we do so with reasonable regularity...I find the silence whilst thinking of my strategy and moves relaxing...Except that one time when she beat me.
