Hi all, I wasn't really sure where to put an introduction, so I hope this is the right spot. Anyway, I love chess, ever since I was younger, but only until very recently did I think about playing it seriously and actually "learning" the game. I'm only 18 and the most chess action I've gotten is playing my brother, nothing anymore serious than that, and since joining the site (about an hour agoTongue out), I've quickly realized I have some learning to do. So yes I'm a beginner, but I plan on quickly improving! Hope to see you in round of chess!   Laughing

The site has amazing resources at your disposal. You should improve rather quickly (esp. w/ a fresh mind).

Definitey check out some of the chess strategies.  You may already be familiar with them, and you may even follow some of these strategies without thinking of them, but I remember when I first started playing against others (outside of my family) how much my game improved after I learned some of the basic strategies in chess and how to set them up.

Anyway, welcome.

Have you ever seen a UFO? Most new people should at least say, "Hi, I may have just seen a UFO".Laughing

This is trysts. Her job is to give newbies a hard time and say funny stuff. Everybody loves her.Smile

 

→ This is me. My job is to act crazy and say stupid stuff.Cool So welcome to where you'll be spending the rest of your life until you no longer have one. If you for whatever reason feel you need a life, hurry up and take the red pill before it's too late. (That wasn't an example of acting crazy and saying stupid stuff by the way; I'm serious.)

 

This is planeden. I don't know him very well, but he seems pretty cool.Undecided

You would say I give "newbies a hard time"? I didn't know this? I'm only hoping I make somebody laugh, sometimes.Smile
