Chess Anyone?

JJLehto on both, FICS confuses me though. Hit me up for a game.
I can beat a computer on the easiest difficulty on my first try...so there's my skill level

Edit: Also I shoulda read up on this application, confusin as hell  Like I see a challenge from you to me but I'm lost

Not a problem - as long as you can think ahead 3 or 4 (preferably 5 or 6) moves, factoring in variable strategies, you'll be fine.

I can really whallop the hell out of these easy computers...this last was a beat down.
Guess higher levels or humans are needed

Yes, I see my arrival has been "noted" by you.
Whatever that means!

I've heard of that program, might as well give it a try

Originally posted by Equality 7-2521 Originally posted by Negoba Originally posted by Equality 7-2521 I used to play. When I was in high school, I worked and went to school in Center City where there's also an active population of people sitting at parks with chess boards waiting to play strangers. I switched to playing poker instead. Actually, since then I've switched to reading and writing about the theory of poker rather than actually playing it. I got obsessed with poker for about 6 weeks. I read several books and played online. (I actually learned to like Omaha rather than Texas Hold 'em). I soon realized I didn't have the patience. You have to fold so much to win. Wierd that poker requires more patience than chess. Well there's also the added bonus that you can make money playing poker. That can help the patience.

Originally posted by Negoba You can make money at chess too. I won $60 at all day tournament once.   One of the more high profile women in chess (Jennifer Shahade) is also an avid poker player. Her stuff is pretty entertaining. She plays simultaneous exhibitions against naked men, etc.

Pretty cool. What I meant to say is that you greatly increase your profit potential by playing poker rather than chess. Also, it allows you to ability to play with a group of your friends. I love both games though. I'm just more interested in things like knights tours and game theoretic modeling of betting patterns than actually playing either game anymore.
