Chess

I was following the World Chess Championship every day on the internet and got enthused about playing chess.  So I went to the library and got out a couple of chess books.  One of the books had quizzes at the end of each chapter where you could rate yourself.  I got all the questions right in the first quiz and it said that I could be clearly confident that I am starting my chess career.  The quiz at the end of the second chapter was not as easy.  I found it hard to solve the problems in my head.  So I thought I could buy a chess board and try to solve the quiz in real life.  Then one night I was playing my computer chess game on my iPad (which I won) and I found that it had a mode for setting up the board for puzzles.  I didn't even need a chess board.  I could do the quiz on the iPad.  I never did though.  I thought there was too much concentration required.  Maybe if I had bought a real chess board I would have followed through on the plan.
