Hey everyone, I'm back on the internetz!!!

Hey, I've been trying to find your account for months. Anyway I've been feeling really guilty about the way I tried to belittle your services as a coach a while ago, I tried to gift you a years Gold Membership as a token of my apology but it said you were already subscribed. But you can take me up on that offer any time your membership runs out..

Hey Ian, no problem, and thanks!  I may take you up on that offer :)

Because I don't play on here very often and took the games very unseriously.  On the other hand in live chess I have had pretty high ratings and could get them up if I wanted.

  I had high ratings on ICC such as a 2100 5-minute rating which is master-level if you can keep it.  In tournament games I put all my focus and energy into winning the game.  Chess.com is just a place for me to have fun and diversion and to write strategy articles and pick up students and friends :)
