Skills and Sun Rays

avatar

Today I played chess. My partner was younger and skilled.
Can you guess who won?

I lost.

My colour was black and trust me, last time I touched chess was many many years ago

I was not sad or angry for losing, on the contrary, I was happy to be able to play again. I was even happy to remember most of the game rules

I think that when you learn a skill, even if you do not practice often, it’s memory comes back again in due time and when needed

This day should definitely be remembered

For a variety of reasons and for the lessons learned

Now I ll share a few shots of the impressive spot we were sitting at

The armchairs

The lamp

And the bar

——

So to recap my thoughts, we should never stop learning new skills, for they are forever carved in our mind.

They just need the right moment to shine

Just like the sun rays

Next time I will try to remember my old backgammon skills, do you know how to play? 😁

Chess is a great game.
You comments on learning rang true for me.
The only thing I remember about backgammon is playing it three times and losing it three times 😆

Lovely. Welcome back at chess! I play every week. There's even a Hive tournament series, though that's not for me. I guess they are playing just now, if I'm not mistaken. It's every Friday.

Chess is a great sport... but what a spot to play it!!! The seaside in the background wouldn't let me pay enough attention to the game, it is too dreamy. :)

This made me remember when I used to play chess with my computer
If you play more, it’s possible to win
I’m sure you had fun

I haven’t played chess for years! Used to play chess a lot at school. It’s good for keeping the brain more alert! Nowadays I had no one to play chess with so
I forgot how to make my moves!

I would be quite erratic and unpredictable. The moves would take too much time! lol
