Hello... I am sorry but I just saw the email you sent me yesterday about my posting here for you to email me. My computer recognized it as spam for some reason. Who knows???

What I am wanting to know is where I can get the info to play chess in the mail with an inmate. I have never played before in my life. LOL... I am asking for a beating I guess. But it should be fun and definately worth a try. Is there anywhere that I can find info to do this online or do you have any hintsd on telling me how to set up a board for us to play on and explain how the moves are set up and done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you have a link you can send to me or something, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :0)
Oh... by the way... my email is majesticangel518@aol.com

Check the thread "correspondence chess".

I believe "otis" provided several links to chess sites that would be helpful to you.

Thanks bunches CMLD!! Found it!!
As always... LD to the rescue!! :0)

Also... Mike in Pa if you see this when you return home... is there any way that you could email me the game board that you were talking about in thae chess thread or did you find it somewhere on line?? Thanks again everyone!! Have a good one!

I never did understand that game.

I don't think I am going to EVER understand it. LOL :0)

lol I know I dont. More less play it in the mail,,lol

I love chess but didn't understand Mike's way of mailing the board for a response back. Guess I'm a visual kind of bunny. *shrug*

That's what I am wanting him to explain to me or maybe he has it stored on the computer and can send it to me (us*) since he does print it on cardstock. We'll have to wait and see. I need a visual myself. LOL...

What I do is I keep track of the moves on my computer and print it up for the inmates so they have an idea of where I am at on the board, that is easier for them, but a good site that even teaches you to play chess is chess 8000, I don't know the web site, I will find it later, but it also has quizes and exercises to do to understand the game, I like it because it is challenging and it passes the time away for the inmates, it takes many moves to check mate a king, and I think the inmates likes that challange, especially when playing a women! I hope this helps you. Peace, Darlene
