I retired from the US Postal Service with 50 years of service, 46 of those years as a maintenance employee. I had been an Electronics Technician with USPS since 1985. Postal employees are by far very dedicated to the job! But they (or 'we') are under- appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE: I'll play anyone, but I don't accept rematches after a lucky win. I figure "If I win; I win. If I lose, I lose." I leave after a game. If you see me later, THEN we'll play a second game.

UPDATE 2/22/24: Any player that "doesn't know what to do" in a position and just lets the clock run out instead of resigning, will be blocked.

UPDATE 5/7/24: Because of bad experiences, I will ignore chat requests during a game.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: I usually accept a draw (the gentlemanly thing to do), but if you're being overwhelmed by me AND you're in a bad position, forget it---you are toast!

UPDATE 6/2/24: A few days ago I resigned a game when my opponent overwhelmed me. A few minutes later I received 2 messages from the player. First message was "You're boring." Second message was "You're VERY boring." WHAT WAS THAT all about??? The opponent won the game, so what's his complaint? The way I play is the way I play! Since it would be unpleasant to play this person in the future, I put the player on my blocked list.

I will also block any player that just goofs around and takes all day to move. I DON'T CARE ABOUT LOSING POINTS!
