    I admire people who play chess. Can never seem to remember which piece to move where spending most time making sure first than full concentration on move itself… and agree learning a game from someone whose knowledge and skills help you improve your own is a nice strategy. When games become too competitive and makes you feel uncomfortable, then walk away. As far as losing games alright for me, as it was the fun or possible challenge applied. My brother and I bets, could get aggressive, he gave me his lousy chores to do. With my friends we bet some times, but this is for pleasure. Cake, drink, movie..but most often play alone as most of my friends like hitting the exercise gyms…

    When you mentioned chores to do that made me smile, we sometimes play a game of switch to see who is going to lose and do the dishes :) Even then you need to be careful as different people have different rules, like with some black 5 means pick up 5, red 5 cancels it, 7 you can play entire suit, some not, so many different rules in so many different parts of the world :)

    Chess is just fun for me now, when I take a break from things I enjoy a game, even different variations of it like 3 check where first person to get 3 checks wins, or fast 1 minute games, it mixes it up…

    OMG.. my brother is 5 years older than me. Who do you think taught me how to play board games, ha?

    Just called him on phone and asked rules again for Scrabble, not playing together for a very long long time. Repeating it 2 times, chewed up his royal tiny butt across the miles. When told him the rules, he laughed so hard and said I was a dumb arse back then. Told him trusted my big brother… But he did think rules the same though…
    Asking him now realizing years of chores and paybacks he owed me…he asked what antibiotics was on so he could have some..

    But you were absolutely right. Looked up official rules. 50 points only applied if use all 7 tiles. Then you also add the word points too. No challenge. Even now playing do not challenge dictionary word thinking loss of points big, not a turn…with computer. What a light bulb and flash in my head for me and brother.
    But you know never too late for revenge even if he is older.

    Thank you. Wow all these years what a shake up…
