I just found this site about a week ago. I am an intermediate player, but am scared to play anyone live. I have been playing the computer for the past seven days!

I am scared that I will get trapped in like 3 moves, and humiliate myself!

In the martial arts, including chess, the best way to learn is to get your  ass kicked.

Would you gain anything by boxing with your grandmother?

There are so many quotes on what fear does and casn do to people, but that will do good here.  The best advice i can give you is to just jump in and play. You have a choice in this...either play, learn, improve, or dont play and play it safe.

Yeah, I was having trouble making my first post; actually had to contact tech support. So, I kept thinking it would go through, that's why it appears so many times!
