Anyone for tennis?? I mean chess?

Postby MadMickyG » April 2nd, 2015, 6:47 pm

Taught an ex-girlfriends kids to play chess using the old HQ pieces.

My son is in the chess club, so figured he would enjoy playing chess with the same kind of set up. Although I have a lot more pieces now, plus some extra HQ kind of stuff.

That is so cool. I was just thinking about this idea about a week ago.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

My cousin and I set up a game like this when we were 10.
Sat there and went, "Remember how chess is played"? "Nah!"
Then we played HeroQuest.

Awesome idea, though.
