Learning Chess at 40
I'm learning the game of Go at near fourty. But I'm not having any of the problems he describes.<p>A great thing about learning and playing online is that you can find an opponent at your same skill level within minutes. Unlike learning in a local club, where every person you will ever play beats you every time, I win slightly more than half my games. I also get this nice increasing graph of my skill level. This is a lot more fun.
