    -- if I play chess or pool I concentrate so hard it is like a change is good as a rest and I find it relaxing and refreshing. however I don't have a credit card and I used up all my free games at instantchess.com I tried lots of chess sites but I don't like them. I found one where I had to wait fifteen minutes for a game. the others I just didn't like because you had to browse for a "table" or "browse" for a group. instantchess.com has games I like playing 15 minute timed chess. or longer. I can't stand it when you have a 5 minute or 1minute game. a game like that makes no sense to me. I have a pay as you go credit card but instantchess.com would take payment from it. so I will get on again but it will be a bit. I like to play russians because they are tough. but when some one wants to play you a flag of their country comes up. when you say you want to play the computer searches for a game and it takes about 5 ten seconds. if you want to play you play. if you don' want to play that person. ( I will play any person ) I just will not play a short game. I mean to exaggerate what the heck is a 1 minute game. so I will cancel out of any game shorter than 15 minutes. One time I won 17 games in a row and thought I could give casperouf ? or bobby fischer ? a rough time, it was a saturday. I went to play the day after and lost 9 games in a row.

    -- the neatest game I ever played was against a lady, her name was susan and her game-name was sue-nami . the opening moves were all looking good.-- the middle games was starting and believe it or not I thought I was in the better position. then susan pinned me , forked me, pinned left forked right pinned center. she was blowing my major pieces off the board left right and center. then she put me in check mate. I wanted to avenge the lose. she was the only person I wanted to play again but she declined. I played lots of games on that site and it was the first time and only time I ever saw her. I would play at the library and I don't like it that you cannot save games and learn from them later. you know save to disc or floppy and bring back home to your computer. -- I have my moments though-- I had one bishop, one knight and was bringing a pawn up for a queen. the other player had all kinds of material and said I was going to lose. He had two queens and two rooks ( some thing else too but can't remember ) what was neat was that I was able to bring my pawn in a make it a king. I was also uniquely able to always beable to put him in check in such a way that he could not block for force me to exchange my queen, I was able to go on and win. instantchess. was giving me free games . so I would play use my free games. they would say none left subscribe. in time they would give me more free games. this time they didn't. I want to subscribe then that will allow me to text my the other player. I think the best site is instantchess.com
