Default I cannot play chess

I know the rules, but I loose against even the simpliest chess
programs on computers.

I think I´m too brainless for chess.

Bitstring , from the
wonderful person Tom R. Rastell said

That's possible, but it's also possible that you didn't ever bother to
read even the simplest book on what you =should= be doing. Rules is one
thing (Look at the 'rules' for driving a car for instance), knowing
'what to do' is quite another.

At any point in a chess game there are usually ~20 legal moves. Usually
19 of them are not optimal, and probably half of them are plain dumb.

It's "lose" not "loose" brainless one.

I that case to what most players do. Buy several chess books read, study, and
play over games. Buy more chess books than you can possibly read or this
method won't work.
