Hi@all...

I sometimes do use the database, opening statistics and the analysis board during our games.

If you want me (for any other reason) not to do so, please let me know. Unless in thematic tournaments - where studying the opening is the main sense - I can go without it.

As I occassionally might use the feature of the conditional move, don't feel pressurized, but continue at your own personal, comfortable speed. I can live with that...

I have no time to hurry... love chess

My experience ( especially in the gamechats) has shown -as Internet chess is anonymous- that obviously not everyone is treating everybody with respect.

Chess is a hobby and I want to enjoy it. But some idiots (even incabable of writing/Reading and unaware/ignorant of the reglulations) are definately spoiling it.

So I am thinking about playing chess face to face only in future.

I will leave the anonymous internet (chess) for others then...
