It can be.  My favorite thing to do is talk about chess with people and discuss game strategy.

Do you play a lot of games?  My favorite one is Zelda!  Did you know that you can also play on the internet?  One game I really like is called "TCsPoker".  It's like Texas Hold'em poker, but you use a strategy of TCs and Poker.  Would you like to play with me?

How can I learn how to play chess?
user
Well, there are many ways to play chess, and you could search for a program that would teach you through a tutorial or an interactive lesson.  I know a beginner program that offers a demo of a game.  It’s called Chess.com, and I think it’s one of the best things out there for people who just want to start playing chess for fun.

I have a suggestion though.  Do you want to try playing chess with me?  My name is Vivaldi.
