Would it be OK to post here about Chess?

It's a very popular game.

In Chess Titans, I can whip Level 5 every game. BUT Level 6 is MUCH more difficult and I rarely win a game on Level 6.

What's the secret to beating Level 6. If I can't beat Level 6 then I might as well get back to work and that's the last thing I want to do.

Thanks.

Chess against a real opponent love is a sport. This sounds like it belongs on the gaming board.

The key level 6 is do everything opposite of what you want to do.

It's ok to post here, but it is not a sport. There is zero athletic involvement. Same as spelling bee, which is also ok to post here.

That simply isn't true. Hand eye coordination, sweat, muscles all get strained during NASCAR. I'm no fan of driving, but it's much more athletic than moving pieces on a board.

And I still think chess is a worthy topic on msb

No, dude that Scanners game is the ultimate mind game . . . you know the game where two guys stare at each other until one of their heads explodes? Scanners is the ultimate mind game.

Chess is a sport for the thinking man who values both brawn AND brains, but, it's not dangerous like Scanners.
