I eventually use physical boards and pieces to play Chess and Chess variants, and it is nice, apart from the social aspect involved, perhaps additioned with a cup of good Colombian coffee, Spanish Jerez, French Cognac, or a simple fruit cocktail, although it is always confortant enough a good conversation about an interesting topic. My son prefer play Chess on Physical boards, and rarely he uses the computer to play. Latin people has the tendence to be very social, perhaps this is a reason because Chess players (and Chess variants players) in latin lands still prefer play in Clubs or as members of groups, using physical boards when possible, but personally I like too the use of computers and Internet, it has its enjoyable points too, it is incredible how the distances dissapear instantly, and you can meet people everywhere to play, and form part of communities that, without modern aids, it is impossible they can exist. Is some aspects, human beings are going, step by step, and without taking it in account, constructing the skeleton of one only macro-living-being, phylosophically, THE HUMAN.
