A Live Game

I lost this one but even still there is nothing like a live game to interact with the real world and not just chess playing machines. When a human beats or loses to me I take it personal even though I have few if any post game comments. A machine is only a tool up to a certain point and the last few days I've been playing machines practicing but there's nothing to report. Notice the past few days I've made no entry. Human interaction is the vital part of the game man cannot live by machine alone. I'm not forgetting women mind you. Women can become major players and champions in chess it is totally possible they do not need upper body strength like they do in football. Whether it happens this remains to be seen. The major question I posed to a friend was that a player must play a better player in order to become a better player himself. It's only logical and a common sense rule of law. The first two on line games were walk overs for me they didn't have the records the ratings and one was just clowning around with rating close to mine or higher he was practicing Hari Kari or a type of suicide a give away which happens from time to time something I've done myself I'm ashamed to admit. It's bad sportsmanship.
