Resolution #204: Learn An Actual Strategies For Chess With Lessons From Fritz And Chesster!!!

Date: 7-23-2014

Due Date: 7-23-2015

Resolution: Now that I've been playing chess on a daily basis as part of Resolution #188 I figure is time to actually learn how to play the game with a strategy in mind. My current method of play is nothing more than trial and error.

This method of play has led me to a record of 4-9-3.

Since I have at least 349 games to go to fulfill Resolution #188, I may as well start actually learning the game sooner rather than later. Being that I am new to the game I figure why not start with a lesson designed for children.

Actually, I went to Amazon.com to find a mature chess tutorial program and was drawn to the Fritz and Chesster program that promises to teach winning strategies through chess-themed carnival games.

And here we are today.

Result #204: I Bought The Software… Did The First Lesson… Then Lost Interest… Leading To Another Failure…

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 7-23-2015

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I'm just not interested in chess. I think I want to like it because I love strategy games and chess is supposed to be the ultimate strategy game. I guess it's just not a form of strategizing that clicks with me.

Oh well, there are other games out there for me.
