I am retired commissioned minister of religious education with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
I am 70 years old. I learned the how to move the pieces at age 13. Wow! That's more than 50 years ago.
Take backs -- I have my "vars" formula set to Notakeback.
This is for the poor sports/sore losers -- I do not use a chess program, and I don't understand why anyone would.
I usually play no more than two games with an opponent per session.
When I offer a draw it is because I really think it is a drawn game. I seldom offer a draw when I am behind in material.
I speak only English, but I know how to use Google Translate.
