i have been learning play chess too. do you like playing online against others?
I have played online to help hone my skill.  I get beat a lot.
do you prefer starting as white or black?
I have to take black because my husband takes white.  He likes to go first.
the sicilian is a strong opening for black, have you tried learning that?
I'm not that advanced. He is teaching me to "castle".
that's good to learn. it's common for players sides to castle on the kingside
There are so many moves to remember.  I think I waited to long to learn. I try to get him to play checkers. LOL
haha that is certainly a lot simpler
He is teaching our grandson. He is picking it up fast. These kids are so smart.
