Jumperpaula 0 #3 January 20, 2002 Actually, I was told that Chess will help you in RW by sharpening your skills in thinking ahead, calculating your next move and anticipating what others will do. Fly Your Slot ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #4 January 20, 2002 Actually, chess is pretty hard-core. I get really serious during the games, and take like, five minutes to plan a move. I've even been known to get violent when things aren't going well.Of course, I've also been known to get violent at the video store, so maybe it's just me.Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Iflyme 0 #7 January 20, 2002 I enjoy playing chess -- a game with now "luck" involved -- it's all skill and strategdy ... not quite the rush of skydiving, but nevertheless, it's a head game... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveMonkey 0 #9 January 20, 2002 Can you do a 4 way chess game? I think not. There's a lot less boobies as well in chess. I'll stick with skydiving thanx.
