Warning to new players !
my first girlfriend had long, flowing hair down her back. None on her head, just down her back. (insert cymbal crash)

Yeah, but how was her chess?
Chess, I said... with two 's'-es and no 't'-s. Keep your mind out of the gutter.
Chess is addictive and should come with a warning label:
"CAUTION !... possible side effects may include : hair loss, dizzyness, insomnia, mood swings, anxiety, divorce, loss of appetite, suicidal tendencies, impotence, loss of job, headaches, constipation and a general loss of any remaining sense of self worth"
Having said that...anyone up for a quick game ? ;)
hehe, divorce...I like that1
My condition?: Possible mass murder tendencies, but I get medication, so I have hope.......
I've been playing seriously for only about three months now, and my poor wife already calls herself a chess widow. I'm at chess club every Friday night, and I'm going out of town all weekend for a tournament, and when I am home, I'm either studying, playing on here, or boring her to tears explaining the merits of various lines of the Alekhine's defense or something.
I just tell her it could be worse, I could be out drinking. 
Chess, like every other form of addiction, needs a sense of proportion so you get the benefits without the massive withdrawals symptoms.
One thing is for certain: You should never operate heavy machinery while playing chess... :P That ought to make for some pretty scr*wed up buildings and bridges...
I've experienced all but divorce and suicide. Now I know what has being causing all my problems. Thanks so much. What about a game?
What you say about this addiction is obviously fabricated. My wife will attest to the fact that I HAVE DEFINITELY NOT LOST MY APPETITE.

Anyone for a game - 1728 is rating.
