I enjoyed chess very much.
Chess and life.

I guess more to the point is chess turned my life around, and for that I'm thankful. I have other intrests besides chess, but nothing has been as rewarding. I have a strong desire to improve and expand my talents. This was not meant to self aggrandize. My one intention was to express my gratitude.

Chess has been good to me. It has given me distraction from my phsical issues and pride in reaching for that brass ring even if I never attain it. My only real regret is the lack of sportsmanship that seems to creep in on occasion. Still, worth the time and patience.

That's great flatters! Chess is a good pastime. For me it is something I can be good at and make friends. Where I live there isn't much chess, but I have a few friends that play. I'm like the best where I live, yet get a real challenge here on chess.com. Grateful. Even when I lose. :)

Back where I belong, I never felt so strong. In the past I cried the tears of a a clown, so let the rain wash away the pain from yesterday. I fought the bullet, and now I'm coming home. I know my kingdom awaits and I'll be forgivin my mistakes. I feel so free I can fly and I'm where I should be. I opened my eyes and all I want to see is the open sky. No matter how far, or how hard. I turned my life around. If you want to know chess is why. Thank God for the journey and blessing this life.
