i've been playing chess off and on since i was a very young child. i probably played my first game when i was about 4 years old. of course back then i barely understood the rules and my teacher at the time understood them no better than i, but since then i've loved the game endlessly. i remained an incredibly terrible player until i went to jail at the age of 19 where i learned some basics from a really strong player. unfortunately i can't find hardly any players to practice against, and even less so players that are at my level of play. i'm not trying to say i'm actually GOOD at chess, but my friends are WORSE. i'm hoping that i can find some other people to play against here on this site and i'm EXTREMELY hopeful i can find someone that will actually teach me how to be a better player. that guy in jail taught me some basics but he never did bother to explain anything outside of "always defend your pieces". disappointing... if you read this then please send me a message (this site allows that kind of thing right?) peace be with you, child of earth and star.
