I love chess. If anyone wants to challenge me on on chess.com pm me. I sent a challenge to Micah and I am waiting for a response.

Go Dallas!

I love it too and used to play a lot on chess.com. Despite this I'm not very good. When I played I usually used the 30 minute timer because I don't know who I'm playing. I can use longer timers or no timer, but definitely not shorter or I'm just flat out garbage.

What's your rank? Or the number next to your name? I forget what they call it already.

I would happily take lessons from you, should you wish to give any.

Parsons got so lucky. He was down so many pieces. Coop just didn’t move a pawn up to give his king an out for a cheap checkmate

Just pointing out that Cooper spend a LOT of time playing chess. It's his main hobby.

Oh ok. I didn't know if you were joking or not. Because the mistake he made to lose that game is usually limited to novices. Even at my intermediate level I don't see it.

From what I understand, Cooper has been playing chess very regularly since he was a child. I honestly wonder if he let Micah win.

In that case you're probably right. Either that or he wasn't paying attention. That can happen if you're playing a total beginner.

Chess is definitely a good game to help keep the mind sharp. It certainly can’t hurt.
