I enjoy and respect the game, but I'm not very good. I still haven't adjusted to playing under time constraints, and the last time I made a stab at competitive play was a junior tournament when I was fourteen. Becoming good at chess takes a lot of commitment, from what I can ascertain, and I haven't found the time to really work the board.

How would you guys feel about playing each other online sometime? I don't do it often but when I play, it's usually on Yahoo! Games.

I play on www.itsyourturn.com You can play 1 move/day or 1 move/ minute depending on whethr your opponent stays on the site for long periods of time. Quitting the game means losing points, and those losses are permanently recorded. If y'all feel like playing...I'm known there as Mr.Bishop (surprise, surprise!). |
