Playing Chess

Playing Chess


We play chess because we love the game, and we do tactical puzzles and study the games of great chess players to improve our game.  Now it’s time to put all your study into practice and play some chess. 


Play chess against a chess program:
Sigma Chess (free for Mac)


Play chess online against another person:
Playchess.com (also watch live games from major chess tournaments)


Play On-line against another a computer:

I recommend playing at least one game a day.  Further, I personally prefer to play online against a human.  Also, I would try to avoid playing blitz (5 minute each) games.  It’s great for fun, but it ruins your chess game in the long run. Contrary to popular belief, there are people who want to play 10 or 15 minutes (each) games, though you may have to wait a bit longer to find (or for someone to accept) a game.
