Having read the forum admins post, I realised there was no "introduce Yourself" as in "Hi I am Bob, I am a chessoholic" type threads. So I hope you don't mind, I just created one.
Hi I am Kev, I hail from grey overcast and quite cold at the moment England. I have played chess for many years and started when I was about 12. I am now a lot older than that.
I used to play (and still do) on redhotchess and was the website runner for a little clan (as they call them). It wasn't very pretty but I was able to post some games with boards and things from my chess software.
Given the amount of trouble I had getting "best games" out of people for the website, I knew there and then I would never make a good admin as I am far too timid. :)
So I am ultra new at chess.com and still working out all the features. I spent two days, fearing to touch anything in vote chess in case I actually made the move for the whole team ! :D
I have 1000 "notifications" every morning, so if you have offered me 1 million dollars, sorry I probably missed it whilst I was trying to work out if game x was still open and in my rating range.
One of the great things about Chess Dominance is that it has an active forum and hence a very active community. Might have something to do with the exuberence of youth but whatever, it is good, keep it going!
