Well I don't favor any specific opening move. I start usualy with a move that I can use nother of Bishops or queen. I'm bad at chess, but I like to play it :P and I also like Go (I not good in it :P)... not relly a good player in neither, but I like playing them. I just usualy ask better players than me to play with me :P but playing against better players than you has always positive efect on your play :P ...the I teach my friends to play, and then soon, I've people on the same level as me to play with :P

I pretty much scotch gambit and french defense every single game I play online.

It was on my first tournament when I finally learned that the proper term was knight, not horse, lol

Plus, on vista's chess, I thought the computer was cheating on me or they have a bug or something whenever the computer tries to use En Passant (pass pawn)

As for favorite opening, most of the time, I flash out one of my knights right away

Used to play. Don't nowadays... What killed it for me is the knowledge that while a comptuer can emulate hardcore Chess players, it can't emulate hardcore GO players, makign GO, in my eyes, a superior game due to a comptuer nto beign able to brute-force play it.

As to the Knight... There's plenty people who don't "see" it well, ya know? IT's one of the most curious things in chess, because of the irregular moves it can make. It's a great tool.

I used to play very offensive, nowadays whenever I get to play, it's mostly defensive, since nowaday if I ever play, it's against weaker opponents, in which case all I have to do is bid my time and wait for them to fail on their own...

Love the 5 minutes chess game, blitz so called... Though our trainer used to not allow us to play it lol, said it makes us "rash" or whatever *shrugs*

Anyway, great game, though I'm somewhat disenchanted with it by what I mentioned in teh beginning. Having said that... It does teach you how to lay traps, distractions, strategy, tactics... I really do love it from those poitns of view...

I played like crazy way back when - and found other things to do.   I tried to pick it back up - and found it annoying.   Planning steps ahead and needing to think out the moves and shit - found myself thinking too much.   Bleh.   I stuck to other things.
