I was a bit of a chess player once upon a time... never had much of a problem with other players but when I played the computer I could not use "the personal touch" and it would see through my ploys and I found it a somewhat different game. I find it harder to beat a computer than a human and I believe even in chess body language plays a part.. I must say I love some of the bluffing that goes on in the TV games.
I have resisted having a go at it because I feel it would grab me and not let go.. I find the game extremly appealing ..not for the money but the opportunity of matching wits with others bent on the same.
