Hello to All....

Jeez, I'm 45 years old and I have just now discovered chess?  I love it!  I knew chess existed. I knew it was more intricate than checkers. I always thought it was for nerds and brainiacs, whatever those are. But one day, bored, probably drunk, I downloaded a chess game to my phone, and, voila!, I'm hooked!  I'm terrible, don't know any strategies, but I love it.  O.K. I'm off to read everything I can find about how to play chess, and how to improve my game.
