Fidelity International's "The Classic", an electronic chess set from 1985. Sporting "32K of chess software", the Classic had advanced features like "thinking on opponent's time", castling, and taking back up to two moves. A #chess board older than me, found in a #goodwill for $5.

So, on a lighter note, there might’ve been karaoke at the local pub yesterday and I might’ve have sung a few songs… including (for the first time ever) a song in Turkish (Şımarık by Tarkan) and one of my favourite songs from one of my favorite musicals: Pity the Child from Chess.

Sound quality: typical pub karaoke quality :)

I am just learning to play #chess and would like to find an app for the iPhone that 1) I can play offline and 2) doesn't require me to sign in or pay a ton of $$ to play.

Does this exist?

I don't have people to play against IRL.

Paper #book recommendations also welcome, possibly preferable. I think it might be fun to set up my board and run through some games, but I have no idea where to look for any guides like that.
