It will take a year to reach move 61 lol. Hopefully we come up with ways to speed up the process a little. At least I hope a simple pawn trade won't take almost a week.  | ||

I will not participate, but I was just wondering where all of you got started in all of this and learned your stuff. I'm not exactly a chess guru, decent though. For me the learning process was very informal and gradual. I played my older brother a lot growing up. He'd beat me every time for years iirc, eventually you start to figure out why . Doing things like reading books and memorizing openings helps to flesh out your understanding but like SC straight up practice is the most important thing. | ||

Multiple polls could be set up to get around this, but that makes the problem of potential multiple voting worse. 5) Polls are anonymous; anyone could stop by and cast a vote, whether or not they're involved with the team.Guys, why don't we set up a separate thread with a poll for each move? makes more sense than adding posts no? @Emporio: My father taught me the game when I was six. He then proceeded to beat me with variations of the four-move check mate in game after game after game. | ||

Learned some from coaches and some from just playing a lot. | ||

My dad taught me how to play chess as a kid (when I was like 10 or so) and since then, I've played chess with friends or on the internet on a semi-regular basis. I'm not a great player, but just by trying for a while, you eventually pick up some terminology, especially if you talk to other people or read a chess book. It's sort of how someone gradually picks up sc2 terminology over time. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I favor this move because most fun games are played through this, imo. e4 is fine too and creates a game many can play. | ||
