Hey fellas. I was recently asked to sponsor the chess club at school. I have agreed, but I have only played two or three games in the past five years and none in the past two. I was wondering if any of you play and of so, if you'd be up for a friendly game, I need to knock the rust off and sharpen my skills before I start mentoring young players.
 
I haven't played chess in years I'm afraid. Been struggling to learn "Go" (and I'm a very slow learner!).

Here's an online chess tutor:

Haven't played for years in any meaningful way, loaded an AI GNOME chess game last year and gave up trying to best it after about 100 tries. Used to think my end-game was pretty strong... humbled by the warez!
 
I run into the same problem - I have a chess program on an Android tablet that even on level "4" out of 12 cleans my clock 90% of the time - it gets frustrating. I'd love to find something that while beating the --- out of me would at least tell me what I'm doing wrong. It seems like whatever happens in the 1st 3-6 moves determines the game, but you don't know you've lost until 20 or so moves in when it becomes painfully apparent there is no way to win.

With no "this is where you went wrong" button there is no way to use it as a learning tool. The software has a "suggest a move" option, but with no context as to why that move is suggested, it seems almost random to me even though I am sure the computer already knows what the next 20 moves after that are.
 
I know how to move th pieces and the basic rules and objective. Beyond that, I'm clueless. I've always felt I don't have the patience to do chess justice.
 
It's just like Checkers,only with different shaped pieces.
(Or so I've been told by an "Expert")
