    Chess brings people together, I am an American and was traveling through budapest, I sat down to play an old man in the park for a few hours, after the game he gave me a tour of the city, teaching me how to get around on the trolly, took me to his favorite pub, and now we are friends, I go visit him almost every year. I love these awesome chess encounters!

      That's an amazing story. Chess crosses all kinds of boundaries so well. Usually even the trash talk is fun, although I don't really engage in trash talk. It's too easy to make a simple mistake and screw up. For example, I was playing yesterday on my mobile chess app, and I castled, but the rook didn't move to the other side. Opps, that was my queen and a couple masted moves. So embarrassing. I really do love hearing stories like that.

      I love this story. When I lived in Budapest (for about 5 months once and 4 months another time) the people were so nice like this. I had a friend from the States come and visit and stay with me and when I was working, she would travel alone out into the city. She would always meet strangers who would show her around. (:)). Your story brought back this memory...🥰🙏

    Anna - you are such a sweet person. Thank you for being kind to your lesser-skilled opponents. You had her beat by the 4th move and she didn't even have a clue. The fact that you gave her so many opportunities to defend and constantly overlooked them shows your true personality. Consider yourself admired by an old guy that has been playing casually since the early 1960's. Blessings to you, Anna from a boomer in Tennessee...

He'd played into it perfectly and I was mildly shocked. That was my best and quickest win. (if ever lol) It was also my last game, and sixty year ago. We meet for lunch every week now and still don't compete on any level since that game. We know he'd beat me at everything again. 🙂

She has a very cute and friendly personality, and the other people did too. I honestly wish more people were like that. Anna didn't go easy on her, but I think she could have played more aggressively if she was trying to win as fast as she could knowing her opponents strength, but she treated it like any other game and was trying to have fun too, which is good.
