wow!! very laudable!! I personally congrastulate you=)..I'm also a chess player..I start playing chess when I was still in my elem. years, but on the other hand, when I graduated in grade school I stop playing it...now that I'm already a high school student, my geometry teacher(which is my coach now) and my classmates cajoled me to play chess again, so now I'm back in business... I'm considering myself as a beginner, I hope that my knowledge in chess when I was an elem pupil will be more as I stand as a true chess athlet of my belonging...
