Formerly used to teach war strategy, it is now a popular game among intellectuals (and strategists) everywhere. It's also a game that I used to be quite good at.
I stopped playing when I was around 11, just after my grandmother died.
I never really realised the connection until a few months ago.
See, my grandma bought me my first chess set. All of the pieces were marked with their names (Pawn, Rook, Queen, Knight, etc.) and the board itself had it's places marked on it. She taught me how to play chess, and she helped me develop my strategy.
Just for a laugh, I tried to play chess again. I failed. Miserably. It's definitely one of those games that requires a large amount of practice in order to be any good at it, but it's frustrating knowing that I used to be really excellent at playing chess, and my abilities have whithered away over the years. If anybody has any helpful hints or strategies that may come in handy for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Cheerio,
Molly
