Description
Learning this game is not for sissies.
It is for patient people w/ excellent memories.
One must plan ahead. One must play several steps ahead.
All my years I have wanted to learn to play chess.
First game ended with a stalemate so technically, I won.
This game shown in this image ended quickly: Checkmate!
I did not win.
However, I am not a competitive player.
I simply want to reap the benefits of synapse exercises so I will be fit mentally later in life.
My brother does crossword puzzles religiously- every morning.
That's another exercise of the mind that I enjoy as well..
