Whenever I’m traveling, I’m usually bringing a travel size chessboard with me.  A friend of mine and I always like to play, no matter where we are.  You don’t have to have a fancy chess set, and you can get a number of different chess sets online.  If you do a quick online search for miniature chess sets, you can find it may connect travel size one.  What these do is have small magnets in the bottom of the pieces that will stick to the board.  This way, if you’re on a bumpy road, the chess game will not be disturbed or ruined.  All of the pieces will be conveniently stuck to the board, leading you to only enjoy your game.  It can be a real hassle of the pieces are falling all over the place.  This is something to keep in mind, and how the recommend picking them up if you’re going to be traveling at all.  It is very convenient and fun.

One of the easiest ways to test your chess skills keys to go online and play chess.  Their minicomputer programs and software applications out there that will judge you on your skill.  You will be facing a computer, which has been programmed to be true almost 90% of the time.  I actually wonder if the computer is the person making a decision, because I can never win.  I always feel like there’s a master chess player behind a screen always knowing what move on line to be making.  Because the software programmers did a very good job at analyzing the different mood and knowing how to almost always win.  I’m sure of the Santa sightings high enough, it would be impossible for anyone to beat the computer at a game of chess.  I still miss playing with the physical chess sets that I have in my home , I guess this is the only real way to score myself or my skills.
