I was whining about not having chess here anymore. In a self-deprecating way though, so that it wouldn't be taken too seriously.
 
We have chess, Pythagorean. It has recently made a resurgence, with lots of new matches springing up.

Well, given the evidence of my observation skills, now no one will probably want to play such an easy opponent.

I've won maybe 3 out of 30 games I've played in my life :(

I joined a chess club when I went back to college for a semester after getting married. In that semester, I played in a few tournaments and got my rating up over 1450, and was feeling (perhaps) adequate to give my friend's brother a challenge. He crushed me over and over. :-( It didn't matter which offense or defense I threw at him (even odd defenses like the Pirc) - he always had an answer.
