Chess? Ugh. My grandfather taught me how to play; a couple of years later I started being pushed toward competition. Took all the fun out of it and I've dabbled briefly only twice in the decades since.

The last time (15 years ago) my friend could tell I'd played before: the first game I lost in a fool's mate (ouch!), but each successive game I improved markedly.

Right now the fill-in entertainment is the Sudoku game on the cellphone.

Hey, sion, take a poke at that link in #2561. Now, you can lose at chess in private.

I'm fairly good at simple Sudoku, as long at it is played with symbols and not numbers. But even that is surprising to me, with the way my brain works these days...:o|
