I'm a Pawn/Peasant-Level Hobby-Player, playing Chess just for fun in my leisure time every now and then . Winning is not very important for me, as long as I can play nicely and reasonably without making too many silly mistakes .

My specific weakness is my "shortage of sight" concerning the diagonal lines \ / of the board: Already many games (even some games in which I already had the upper hand and was almost certainly on my way to victory) I've eventually lost because - again and again - I've accidentally placed important pieces of high value (such as Rooks) into "firing line" of Bishops without noticing that there was a Bishop somewhere else, farther away, on the diagonal line / \. Specifically on this weakness of mine I'd like to practice more in the forthcoming games.

Also note: I'm playing my games un-aided, only "with my own eyes and mind", i.e.: without using any of the supportive analytical auxiliary tools which the www.chess.com website is providing for usage during a game. However, if You wish to use those auxiliary analytical tools during game-playing against me, then please feel free to do so: I've got no objection against Your usage of them, even if I'll get defeated .

Because of my busy professional life, I'm only playing games in the "daily" correspondence mode in which I can leave a game "sleeping" for extended periods of time - NO rapid chess!
