Playing mind games...  

Hi Tata,

I love taking some of the crossword puzzles when i travel. it's keeps me active---especially my mind hehehehe...its a very productive trip for me with these crossword puzzles. have a great day!

Your both right, it really does help keep the old brain cells ticking-over
I always need to keep a good dictionary and thesaurus with me when I'm doing crossword puzzles. I can say the word no problem but my spelling can really let me down. Some people think using a thesaurus is cheating, I just think it helps to expand my vocabulary and mind

Happy puzzling....

Hello,

I'm not to good at Soduko,using my powers of elimination and numbers just dont mix with me. I do try my best to figure them out but I just seem to loose concentration and get bored.
I have many friends who are big fans of Soduko and they will spends alot of time working out the combinations. Each to their own I suppose.
Give me a good crossword anyday of the week.

Have fun with numbers...

Hi there,
Chess is a board game I have not played in many years, since I was at school actually. It is a great strategy game which I greatly enjoyed. I was even in the chess club at school, but, beleive me that does not mean I was any good at it.
I lost interest in playing chess when I left school as there was not that many people who played. I know you can play chess solo, ie. against a computer microchip, but that really takes away the human side of the challenge for me, so it's not much fun.
I may trying getting back into playing the game as it was good for the braincells, always having to think x amount of moves forward from your oppenent etc.
I still have a chess set, but I bet there is a piece or 2 missing now, it's been along time.

Have a good day 'mate' .

Yup, you are right. Playing against computer is nothing compared to the interest generated by playing against human. Actually, from my initial days into chess, I played against my cousins, friends etc. for nearly 3 years. In that course, I played over thousand games, and remember getting beaten only thrice (I don`t know how coz I aint that good). However, now everybody else is busy in his life, I don`t get anybody to play with. So, I just play against computer coz I cannot just resist it.

Hello,

Yes I have played chess, I just posted a response to this just before replying to yours, sorry just catching up.

When you played chess which did you prefer to do, ie. move first-white, or wait for your oppenents move-black.

I always prefered to go second.

Hope you dont have a 'stale' day 'mate' .

Hello there,

Sudoku does seem to be a very popular choice with myLot members, judging by the responses I have received to this topic. Like I have mentioned earlier , I do play it but it's not my most favourite game.
Probably because I'm not very good at it.

Have a happy day...

And I am not good at crossword

Hello l_m ,

Scrabble is just one of those games I could never get into, as much as I enjoy letter and word games. I could never get to grips with the rules, ie. triple word score, swopping tiles etc.
Maybe I should try playing this word puzzle game again, reading and understanding the rules completely would probably be a big help. LOL

Take care and have some fun...
