    That's great @Beaver79

    I've just started to learn recently.  Perhaps ew could set up a group to exchange hints and tips on the game?

    Hi @Beaver79 yes I'm enjoying it. 

    Hopefully, I will get more responses here.

    I was in chess club many years ago when I was in secondary school, we used to play chess on our lunch-hour, it was fun, we'd hold small tournaments and we had a leaderboard that we created.

    Sadly, I haven't played in a long time, I don't like playing against a computer, I like to play against a person in real-life with a real chess board/pieces.

    Hey folks, just to let you know I've moved the post into the coffee lounge, so it doesn't get drowned in all the games going on. :)

    I did the same at school!! :smiley:

    Often we didn't have long enough for a game though, lunch break was an hour and that included eating your lunch so a game had to be finished in like 30-40 mins

    I read that as does anyone play cheese!🤣 Clicked on it straight away!
    But I do know how to play chess. Haven't played for many years though.

    @onedayatatime

    You gave me an idea

    Make the chess board pieces out of cheese

    Then when you capture an opponent's piece, you get to eat it :D

    @66Mustang That is an absolute brilliant idea!!
    I would starve though 🤣
    What would you suggest for the Queen piece? I'm thinking a ripe smelly blue cheese and all the pawns are crackers. 👍

    Cheesse Board

    But seriously, I have played a little bit of chess but I can't say I am very good at it.

    Wonder if we could set up a little sort of friendly games? I know there's a free online chess site that could be  used.

    I used to play a lot of chess in my youth, but I'm not sure if I'd be any good as an opponent these days. Especially as I refuse to call the knights anything other than "Snorsies"  :D

    Hi Folks

    Many thanks for your replies.

    Yes, I agree with Jimm_Scope, we could set up friendly matches and perhaps a chess group here.
