Time to limit involvement

Avatar of bishopson

My schedule is getting very busy again.  On top of that my youngest child has started showing an interest in chess, and I will be helping out a chess club nearby helping children learn the game, being involved in directing and going to tournaments as well.  As a result, I will have to limit my time and involvement here in the groups to which I belong.

1) I will not play in any team matches and tournaments.

2) I will not participate in more than one vote chess game per group, and even then I will have to limit myself to no more than 5 vote chess games.

3) I will not be very involved as an admin or groups, but will lead as I am able.

I hope you understand why I need to limit my activity at this time.

BUT real chess players can multitask

I assume the comment of jennbeloved (now AkumaX) is meant to be a joke. It's not a very helpful contribution here.  

I understand completely bishopson and indeed have had to limit my own activity recently (though I haven't thought through what I can continue to do as logically as you have.)

I remain grateful for all those who devote a lot of time not only to having fun and learning on the site but also to leading and administering. I often think chess.com should be giving out some free memberships to those who have a track record of contributing a lot in that kind of way.

Thanks to you for what you have been doing and especially your leadership in the vote chess matches I have taken part in.

I, for one, very much appreciates bishopson's contributions to the site, especially in vote chess.

A calling is so much more important than a game, even if we derive joy from our pasttimes.  Keep up the good work.
