I’ve long enjoyed chess — my dad taught me when I was four or five, I think, since that’s of course the duty of Russian Jewish dads. I’ve never been great at it, and I haven’t had much time to play recently, but I really like the game.
In any event, my friend Ward Farnsworth — a lawprof at Boston University — just put together a great online guide to chess tactics should be an excellent resource for anyone who is learning to play the game. (The site is called “Predator at the Chessboard,” which is especially amusing if you know Ward, who is among the least predatory-seeming people I know; maybe chess makes his alter ego come out.) Check it out.
