Wednesday, December 04, 2002 My new hobby: chess.

But the thing is: I'm really really bad. I suck. I learnt it online last year and have been playing at yahoo games on and off. It's weird when you try to adjust from a 2D screen online to a real-life 3D chess game. I had been playing "real" chess with my friend and got beaten every single time, mostly cos I suck (of cos) but I'm also a little disoriented by the "real" pieces. I even messed up the set-up once! How embarrassing.

I learnt chess because I thought I should, and also because I want to learn to "strategise." It's quite fun actually, but the losing part is getting to be quite a downer.

Have any of you guys picked up a new hobby lately?
