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.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.
