Bruce Perrotta (aka The Codger) Has played many, many games of chess since learning to play 50 years ago. Endlessly fascinating, chess brings many players into a journey that not only gives much enjoyment during play, but creates so many other benefits for all!
 
Playing chess has been proven in studies to improve and strengthen our mental capabilities in young and old alike. Whether calculating moves ahead or determining the value of each move, we learn to respect the decision process and make it a part of everyday life. Each game, in and of itself is an enjoyable pastime but adds so much to other aspects of our lives. On top of the mental aspects of the game, there is the simple fact that you travel anywhere in the world and the rules of chess are the same. Whether you speak the local language is not pertinent if you speak "chess"!

Bruce Perrotta learned the game of chess in the late 60's, becoming a "Fischer Kid" during the 70's. In high school, he easily captured the team championships and represented his school until graduating in 1976.   He taught some of his fellow students to play and improve in their games during this time and enjoyed sharing his joy of the game with others. Although life has sent him in many directions career-wise, he has never strayed far from chess.   At The Codger, we work on showing you the passion and mysteries in chess. At the surface, we are talking about a game that has 6 different pieces, a handful of rules and a board. Pretty much anyone can learn the basics. It is in exploring how the pieces interact. Finding approaches to the game that work for you. We share the appreciation of the efforts of so many great players now and in the past.   Please explore our site and enjoy some of the information we share here.
