The Game of Chess

Is a dauntless
Game That not everyone can process
With out lots of practice.
Here is some good advice.
The thing to remember is how each piece
Moves through the fray.
This is the hardest part when your first
Learning to play.
Who is, who does what, how, and when to
Move is something that has to be gone over 
Every day.
The object of the game 
Is to obtain
Your opponents king.
You'll have to think logical,
Be methodical,
Some where along the way you'll learn 
Geometry
And strategy
While playing a great game
That supposedly originated in the middle 
Ages.

I really like the tips you have provided here. I am a huge fan of chess, you can say that I am addicted to it and your instructions can be really helpful for someone who is new, perhaps it is not about only your moves, but to also think that what is going through your opponents mind and change your strategy according to current situation, if you do find a free day, or ever want to play chess, always remember that when it comes to chess, I never say no, lol, anyway, good luck and have a nice day

Thank you. I love the game myself. Finding people who play is a totally different thing. So if a spark of curiosity can get someone to learn to play then maybe We will have more people to play. Anything is possible.
