my tryst with chess

this post is solely dedicated to the two persons who tried to teach ME the game of chess :)
the first attempt was made by my brother a decade ago or more...it was a futile attempt... for someone as restless as me it was a wrong move... to sit and stare at the chessboard and the chess coins.... wonderin wat the next move maybe and should be was something i could not do... at that point of time for me to sit steady and think was impossible...

a decade later the second attempt to teach me the game was by my sweetheart :) himself an avid chess player he's been wanting to teach me the game 4 quite sometime... friday last was when i could no longer avoid learning it :)

his was a decent attempt.. i atleast have a fair idea as to how the pawn, the bishop etc move... though with alot of confusion :)
we started off the game but lo behold i just kept moving some coins because i had too... the familiar 'have a game plan, strategy etc...' was missing...
to think about my move based on wat my opponent may move was simply unfathomable!

i couldnt even think that far, honestly.
minus the game of chess and i am really quite a far sighted person... worry too much by thinkin a lil too much... but somehow this thinkin does not help me in the game...

so bottomline is that i tried to understand the game, in vain...
methinks it'l take me quite some time before i can get close even :)
this is in my opinion i wonder wat my sweets thinks of it.... may be he'l never try teachin me again ;)
