Scrabble is fun, but I don't get to play it much. I've played chess since grade school but never quite grasped the "think 4 moves into the future" thing. I always thought "how can you do that when you don't know what the other guy is going to do?". About 2 years ago I got a book from the library about chess strategies, but it didn't seem to sink in. Still couldn't beat the easy level in Chessmaster for the SNES. My cousin, Tom, kicked that game's ass on the hardest level though. I guess the chess gene skipped me. But I still like playing. It's one of the few games that's fun even though I lose (I'm usually a rotten loser).
