wouldn't say i'm a chess geek, but i do enjoy a game now and then. Had some fun playing on teh flight from Perth to Adelaide and back a while ago.

Speaking of which, anyone got any recommendations for a chess program that i can play online with a few mates?

Back in high school I was quite the chess player - but now I can't see more than a few moves down the road. I think that as I get more life experience things get a little noisy when I try to focus on the board.

I like a game of Chess. Haven't played at club level for a while though, should get back into it some day. Five-minute blitz King's Gambits on the internet or with friends is fun, but its not real Chess

@ACEwoK - it shouldn't be hard to find somewhere to play online with friends. A quick google should bring up plenty of options. I used to play on Yahoo Games occasionally with mates and that was perfectly adequate.

I use to like the odd game of chess but I haven't played it for ages.

I also enjoy a nice game of chess now and then, but a game with me takes usually 3-4 hours so it can get really exhausting

I used to play regularly in college, but seldom play a game anymore.
