I love to cook and I love to play video and computer games. Is it any wonder that I love cooking games? I have a few for my Wii, but I also really love the free online cooking games. I mean after all…would you rather work or virtually cook something, make customers happy, and earn money? Yeah, me too. Bring on the cooking games!
I love love love all of the games that have Flo in the starring role. The most popular one is probably Cooking Dash but there is also Diner Dash along with a few other similar themes. I don’t know why running around like a crazy person preparing meals and cleaning up after other people is so much fun when I do it virtually, but it really is. It’s like work…but not. I don’t know.
Then there are the desert making games like Cake Factory, My Little Bakery, and Cookie Maker. Virtual deserts have all the fun and none of the calories. Not a bad deal. Some of these games have a fee if you want the full versions but there are lots of free trials available that go through plenty of levels to keep me sidetracked while I should be working.
What are your favorite cooking games?

The classic four move checkmate is something that every chess player, beginner or advanced, should know how to use and defend against. More often than not, this move can only be used against beginner players, because it can be countered quite easily and will leave you in a bad position on the board if not properly executed.
For the first move of the game, the pawn in front of the king must be moved two spaces forward. This clears the way for both the queen and one of the bishops to be moved in the near future.
For the second move, the bishop should be brought out and positioned in such a way that it is able to take the opponents king bishop pawn.
For the third move, the queen must be moved so that it can attack the king bishop pawn in a straight line.
For the final move, and checkmate, the queen moves forward to take the king bishop pawn.
An important thing to note is that if the opponent moves its king bishop pawn forward one space, or moves its king knight in front of the king bishop pawn, the four move checkmate is thwarted. If your opponent is someone with a little more chess experience under their belt, try to disguise this checkmate by varying the procedure a little but still keeping the same basic structure. Even experienced players can fall for a move as simple as this if it is disguised well enough.

Chess can be intimidating to people who have never played it before. However, once you learn the basics, chess can be a challenging and fun game.
One great way to learn to play chess is to join a chess club. You can find chess clubs at many community centers, schools and libraries. If you don’t have a chess club near you, you can always form your own. Ask friends and family members to come and to bring their chess-playing friends.
Playing chess is fun for chess players of all levels. Those learning to play chess can compete against beginners and can get tips from the more advanced players. The advanced chess players can have fun playing chess against talented players.
