Chess

When some wonderful person ported GnuChess to the iPhone, I remembered how much I enjoy the game. I started playing again on Chess.com, which has a great slow-paced format that doesn’t require any more attention than you choose. The minimum time limit to make a move is 1 day, so it’s a lot like mail chess, except occasionally when you and your opponent are both online it can move quite a bit faster.
Here’s a link to my first game, where my opponent developed his rook far too early while I was busy setting up mate.
To be fair, the next game I lost just as quickly after some terrible oversight in my opening.
The most recent game I played was a good match where I had a chance to develop a a pawn and a bishop behind enemy lines. I wrote an annotated blog post about it.
So if anyone wants to play, go sign up on chess.com and challange me. My name is samsonasu and I welcome the challenge.
Smarter than a 5th grader

Nobody in america knows that, not even 5th graders. However, the show put up a website that at least validated my existence for now.

I play set game pretty much every day and its awesome.
Also I was playing this other cool 3d puzzle game yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Levels 16, 19, and 23 I thought were real tough but you can beat them.
