It's been over 3 years since I posted this and I've had a lot of good advise from a lot of good people. I've found out that it's the simple things that you do that make a difference. I haven't been playing much since my grand-daughter was born last year. She's the light of my life and chess has taken a back seat since then.....but I still plan on playing, just not as much. My rating is grossly over inflated. My O.T.B. rating is about 500 pts lower, so I won't read to much into the rating thing. For all the people that have tryed to help.........Thank-you. Try and remember to have fun while you play because at the end of the day chess is and always will be just a game!!!!!!!. I have found that chess is a good tool for meeting some interesting and good people and have made some good and long lasting friends on this site.
