I know nothing about chess, but found that very entertaining.
The fun in chess went out when computer progs took over. Up to then, it was always a fair battle...
My Dad was very good but I was not. Perhaps it was because it is a game where it is difficult to cheat.
Sam - it is isn't it. Difficult for adult players.
Scrobs - yes, I haven't played competitive chess for decades, but I sometimes wonder how it affects club players knowing that cheap software could probably beat them.
Demetrius - there is always gamesmanship. An old trick was blowing cigarette smoke over young upstarts who might beat you.
