funny, maybe he created his account and found out it was bad timing (girlfriend ? ) and decided now he is ready for some of chess (she left ?).

New means I just started a couple of days ago, and all my fellow chessmen that doubt me , why don't you play me !!!!!!

Look around in the green menu bar above, you'll find most of what you're looking for.
