i'm thinking a game that the AN tells a move. f.i. I moves whites, and the next post moves blacks, and the next whites, and so.

The problem is i can't to do an dynamig image of the game and the AN see the board at that moment. I will try to get it soon.

Great idea, but too complicated, plus, I can not play chess without the visual, you know what I mean.

You can to play in http://chess24.com

The problem (playing both) is I have already exhausted all my games without register. Since now i need to become an user, give data, etc.and I do not want to. I could look for some other chess web but I will need a little time to find it. Excuse me for that.

On the other hand (you would enter new) you can play a lot of games there yet. The games have time by default (1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 min.) and they put to you a rival by default too. You can't choose them.

Although I mostly have learned to play checkers rather than chess, recently I have started to practice in chess too.

Well, I am still quite a newbie, so I am practising against computer offline. Currently stuck on level 5 difficulty. I have a understanding about game's plans, I do a good beginning game, and often do a good moves, but then somewhere in the middle of the game, I mess up badly, by doing some mistake or even blunder. :D

Of course. Me too. Only I read some books to know better the game. It requiere time, patience and a real board to see all the moves you can make in each moves done before. I undestand a bit more the game, but to play well needs to play more and more.

If you need a book to know better the middle game I suggest you 'My system' (Aaron Nimzowitz).

I like backgammon. Chess is not random enough for me.

I know how to play but I can't play it well. I'd say the most difficult part of the game is the first move. About every opening makes you vulnerable to some extent.

The point of chess is strategy, not unpredictably.

Well, I have two books, called "Chess learning book for schools" (Anatoly Karpov). I have played with a few opponents in real life, but I easily triumph over them, because they don't really take chess seriously, and I can use their blunders. xD

It was a copy/paste I acquired long ago. Not sure where they came from.
