This summer I was taught by a friend how to play chess. I had always wanted to learn but never knew anyone who knew how to play or was interested in teaching me how to play. It took about 45 minutes to get all the different pieces explained and understood but after that, the game was on its way. I actually beat him once too. I cannot believe how much fun it is! I'm constantly being challenged. Each game is full of surprises and is completely different from the last. It is a great time to talk to the person your playing with and have some down to time to just test your brain without any other distractions. Chess has quite the cult following and some people even have "signature moves". I would encourage everyone to take up chess. It really makes your brain work in a different way. Find a buddy, grab a chess board and go outside and play some chess. You'll be happily surprised.
