Hi, Chess Mates -

I'm going to be assisting Lord-Loss with some of the admin tasks here and wanted to tell you a bit about myself.

Last year I retired from the corporate rat race after many years and moved from Texas (I'm not a native Texan, I grew up in Massachusetts) to a retirement resort on a tiny tropical island off the SW Gulf Coast of Florida. We have a group of chess players who play regularly twice a week and they have been excellent - and patient - coaches.  I'm the only woman in our retirement community who plays chess, so the guys were really surprised when I first showed up to play! When I'm not playing, I go back and forth between the tables and watch the tactics from both perspectives.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and playing some chess!

Nancy
