@YoShockray:
He already knows chess very well.

Oh, I miss playing that game.
I think, en passant is my favourite rule in the entire game.
Especially because most people don't know about it.

Nearly everyone I ask who knows the basic rules of chess.
That one just isn't as common.
Ask a random stranger, how a random piece moves in chess, and he/she will most likely be able to answer correctly.
Ask a random stranger, what en passant is in chess, and he/she probably won't know it.

Have you ever heard of online gaming websites?

What about if we make an unofficial LFE chess tournament?
@TheNave chess programs are fine enough, but real flesh and blood is best

Playing chess improves ur memory power or whatever ?
