Cold Chess

Winter is coming! I've heard it said, that Chess players play most of their chess games during the winter. What do you think about this? I guess it's true, because people don't have as many activities during cold seasons. I plan on playing as many games as I can this winter. My Christmas list is full of chess things: New chess timer, tournament chess board, and the game with ever-growing popularity, "Chessmaster DS, The Art of Learning"! This game sounds like a lot of fun. Do any of you have this game? What's it like? What do you think it will be like? What chess related items are you hoping to get this Christmas?

Well, everyone, plan on playing a lot of games this winter, online and off. There is still nothing that can beat an old fashion face-to-face match!
