Paul, from suburban Seattle
Chess is humbling.
I'm not sure why I'm so blessed in life, but I am grateful.
Interesting to see how world-wide ICC's reach stretches. Small world in that sense.
Amazing to see my rating peaks on ICC...nearly 20 years ago :-)
Didn't we get into this game because it is fun? Can we remember this?
Hoping for intelligent discourse in the US Political debate. Not always optimistic.
Age is affecting my rating. Or the Windows interface. Or bad moves. One of those. :-)
Enjoy playing in the 1 and 3 and 5 player pools.
If you hail from Washington (state) let me know!
