Please note that I DO NOT play rated games, so please don't challenge me to them!

Update... someone is now lobbying to get me BANNED from chess.com!  I am not scared in the least however, as he has had three accounts banned, and is now IP tracked...

VERY IMPORTANT:  There are many people who will say pretty nasty things about me, please do NOT listen to them!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Some general rules for my threads (in no particular order):

 

  • Be nice.
  • Stay on-topic
  • Don't advertise groups
