Been playing it for years... I usually play online though..not enough IRL opponents

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.

Like it? Are you kidding? I love it!

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'm not a big fan of the Yahoo Games version of Chess... too many people who want to quick-play or quit when the game starts looking bad for them.

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!).
