I am an adjunct instructor at Southwestern Illinois College, a substitute teacher for the Clayton, Webster Groves and Ladue school districts. I have been playing chess for 70 years! I learned the rules when I was 8 years old! I seldom 'win' a game, but I always enjoy the mental exercise of trying my best. I enjoy observing the other player's tactics and I try to learn from all my losses. One lesson I have learned is that playing to win a friend is more important than playing to win a game! Discussing the game with your gamemate, after the game, is a wonderful way to add to your knowledge and skills. Winning at chess is not as important as winning your opponent as a friend. If your primary objective is to win your opponent as a friend, you can still win even after your loss.
