Chess
Thinking Machine is a nice online chess game where you can see a visual representation of it thinking before it makes each move. I was doing quite well against it until I made a stupid move that lost me my queen and pretty much any hope of success along with it.
I used to be in the school chess team, which meant occasional visits on weekends to play against other schools in competition. I was never very good, but got to be in the team just because my not very good was slightly better than the not very good of most of the others. It’s all a bit of a haze to be honest, how many competitions I was actually in, but I certainly won some matches if nothing else. And I think maybe got out of a class or two along with it. Odd how even though it wasn’t really that long ago, I can barely remember it.
