Hi,

After a death in the family, lots of school work and commitments, i have had to stop playing chess. Now I would like to start playing again but I don't know what is the best way to regain my skills.

I have an hour and a half or so a day to study chess, so what do you think I should do?

Cheers,

Loch.

Buy some books, play some games, and read read read! :-)

Suggestion: play unrated games, especially with those rated at or above your level.  Unrated games won't cut your rating as you knock the rust off those wheels!  I tried to challenge, but you aren't accepting right now.  Best of luck to you!
