I remember the first time I played chess by correspondence. It was about ten years and then lived outside Spain, and Sergio and I remember the send postcards, each postcard and write a chess move. Another was a way to ensure that we keep in touch, and part played a game of chess.
But the case was not as easy as it looked. First, as many days passed between plays when the card arrived I remembered the strategy and I spent more time picking up the thread of the game, that thinking about the plays. But the worst was when one of the movements of Sergio I ate a piece, it said on the postcard, but in my panel box was empty! Our boards were out of sync. Overall, we could not finish the game. Start over, but in the end we left it. Salva also tried playing with correspondence, but nothing. Spent so much time between plays in the end we left it.
But I stopped. I found a place online where they organized chess tournaments, and I scored. But my level was so far from being acceptable, that did not really lose hope so often, and the worst is that they often had no idea where the shots went. Overall, I quit.
few days ago I got the bug again. After a quick search, I found chess.com. She is a wonderful Chess portal. They have tournaments, matching games, and even library openings, puzzles, and training modules. Total I've created an account ... but who you play? I'd rather play with someone they know. So if you dare, threw a party ... And even has a Facebook module!
do not think it improved my chess, it is not something that matures when it is spent, like wine. Anyway, the important thing is to play and entertain.
You in chess.com! My name is diego_ma.
