Happy New Year!!

...

Using my new chess computer (a Christmas present, a version for young children, from a toy shop that went out of business) I hope to develop my playing skills and to find appropriate human opponents soon. ...

Why not just join one of the numerous online chess sites?

I've looked at several, and joined one, but they all seem to stress the very fast play, 15 or 20 minutes and that doesn't suit me at all.

Really? I used to play a site and you could choose your time frame.

I have played a few games of correspondence chess where there was no time limit on the return move, I usually get 1 or 2 moves a day.

But how about a philosophical chess thread ?

Then each move could be put into a thorough philosophical perspective and discussed in detail even by those who are slow and not ambitious.

We all grow older and wiser.

We get less excited about minor trifles.

That´s why I enjoy growing older.

I feel pretty old already.

A pawn goes to K 4 ?
On my chessboard there are only letters from A to H.
