Hello!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to say hello! I am a 25 year old guy from Sweden that just began to play chess again, last time i played chess was about 10-15 years ago so I am not a good player. Hopefully I will improve a little bit anyway if I stay long enough that is, depends on the community :)

My main hobby is programming and chess might just become a time passer while I program or maybe something I will spend more time with a long side programming. Hopefully there will be a lot of nice people here so I will enjoy my time here!

Best regards,
Kim

Greetings!  I, too, have just recently joined after not having touched a chess piece in about a decade.  My advice is to take advantage if they offer you a free trial, play as many games as you can, don't worry too much about rating other than as a gage of improvement, and learn from your mistakes and have fun!

I have played with "Live Chess", It didn't go so well but hopefully I will improve if I play a lot. It's early morning here now so I can blame that :P

The games I played so far is without rating, I play for fun so my rating isn't a issue if it doesn't increase or decrease. I guess I will play some more after I have slept a while and see how it goes :) hopefully I doesn't lose to much so I get bored of playing :)

I think of it this way:  losing is the best way to quickly amass a battery of mistakes to study and learn from. 

Oh, thats true :p then I will have a few games to check x] I am quite sleepy at the moment so looking now would only make my head hurt

Hi!
