In particular, I learned that human opponents, unlike the computer, were as likely as I was to make mistakes, to make unexpected moves, and to miss things, in the course of a game. This is great fun, too, but different from always playing the computer.
I would undo and redo moves as part of that process I mixed that in with some lessons and some tactics training on the site.Įarlier this year, I started playing people on the site, as well. I thought it was an awesome tool for practice, and for help in trying to understand why certain moves did or didn't work. When I came back to chess after many years away, I felt completely rusty and underconfident, so at first I spent a long time playing only against the computer.
