I play on Yahoo too, loss most the time, but I like playing.
 
I'm a big fan of chess and risk.
 
Love the Game!

Alright, this is great. Have any of you been to "playsite.com"? If you sign up there, you can play against me in the "Social Chess Lobby" (I'm Mentat_pf at that site). I'd love to play against any of you sometime soon :smile:.
 
That's where I used to play!

The new client is very buggy on my system though. :frown:

I hadn't played for years until I downloaded some chess software the other day. I get my arse whipped by the computer every time... Well not entirely true, we seem to end up in stale mate a heck of a lot, which is probably better than losing. :frown:

Being the nerd I am, I signed up for the chess club my junior year. Before I didn't know how to play at all, but by the end of the year I think I could hold my own against an intermediate player. I should reallu practice though - haven't played since the end of the school year. Hehe, we should play on shockwave sometime.
