I wouldn't laugh at you for that. I think you'd probably be a better chess player than I am. Chess is all about strategy and looking ahead. It's about assessing your position, assessing your possible position and working out how you can conceal your intent. Like checkers but with more options. I think you'd get a lot out of it.
If I was a better player, I'd suggest playing you on Yahoo! Chess or something, where you can play people from anywhere in the world and have a discussion at the same time. It's a good teaching medium. But I honestly think I'd be doing you a disservice because I have to think hard. It's not instinctive for me. And I think you'd be an instinctive player who would beat me every time if you were taught to obey your instincts. I hope you do pursue it, though. It's a game where, the better you get at it, the more you get from it. The proverbial gift that keeps on giving.
Do you play Luck Games?
