About Me:
I learnt the basics of chess when I was a child but never really had the chance to properly study the game; I always played it for simple fun. Now I'm still enjoying it, but this time trying harder to learn it well. I am just an average player with great passion for the game, same as you.
P.S.
1. I don't like using 'Games Explorer' or consult books and chess databases during a game. I only use my previous experience or the 'analysis board' embedded with each game or an old-fashioned style I set up to play.
2. I don't like cheating or lingering in a lost game. Whether I lose or win I like to play fair, so I expect my opponents to do the same.
3. I try to extensively use 'Computer Analysis' of my selected past games in order to study chess. I've recently upgraded my status to have even more access to this incredible tool. I recommend it to anyone who feels the need to learn more about your own mistakes and those of your opponent. Of course I also recommend Chess Mentor, which can teach you the elements of chess. I don't stop using it now.
4. I don't like to play zillions of games nor to play against someone who's doing so. Not that I like to be singled out by anyone but I have the feeling that playing like that reduces the quality of the game and leaves more to chance.
5. I like chatting, as long as my opponent likes to do so. If you are planning to chat constantly it is possible I will do the same. Playing without chatting suits me also well.
6. In case you see me 'on line' most of the times I won't be really playing, so be patient, please. I remain connected but doing other stuff around also, many times studying chess, other administrating my group and other just doing something else apart from chess.com.
