The more you learn about chess, the more you win, is what I have discovered.

Success is not a function of who you are - we are all new creatures in Christ and that is our identity. Success is a function of how much you are willing to learn, and do as a result of learning.

I found an old chess game i played years ago 7+. It was on an online site but can not remember which one and i am not sure, i was playing a person but we were not rated.

So i am not sure how good this person (or really how good i was), i was playing was. But i wrote it down, because it was the first time i had won a game by losing my queen (on purpose). I also noted i never took a piece of his/hers chess pieces.

White (me) in Red bold and black opponent in black bold

I love chess, but I'm too impatient to be good at it. I still enjoy playing though (mostly AI).

The last time I used AI, it was at an elementary level. I quit in protest when the game did not allow me to perform a castle.
