Chess has established rules (seldom updates), and requires planning. Well, WitE offers much more in terms of rules (however updates), and requires planning. I am a chess player and this is the reason why I enjoy WitE.

I've played in a team and in tournaments in my youth. But not anymore, since almost 25 years.

Same here. Well it was 20-ish years ago I stopped, after embarrassingly having been too hung over to be able to appear at an important game. [:o]
Anyway, having played WitE since it came out, I can safely say I'm better at that than I ever was at chess.[:D]

I do. And always will.



Redmarkus5 -> RE: who among u play chess? (8/3/2011 9:38:25 PM)

I used to in high school then stopped for many years. Have played a bit against the computer while travelling over the past few.

I've had occasional spells when I've been quite keen on chess, I can't dedicate myself enough to become very good though, also my memory is poor which is a handicap at the higher levels of the game.I'm probably about 1500 ELO (ish).
I do think that chess has tremendous relevance in some ways to the tactical aspects of warfare.Control of the center, gaining of tempo, concentration of force etc.



PeteG662 -> RE: who among u play chess? (8/4/2011 12:30:49 AM)

I have played chess for almost 40 years now and have taught my older brother to play as well.

Exactly. Gave it up when I discovered Tactics II.
