I am old enough to know better but young enough to like it!

Please do not think me rude if I do not respond promptly to tells during games. My typing is very slow, and I need to look at the keyboard as I type.

I usually do not give more time or takebacks, but I will not accept either. I do not believe that I will improve if I accept these.

I have been known to play while drinking, so fluctuations in rating and playing strength are to be expected.

Now we see wherein lies the pleasure to be derived from a chess combination. It lies in the feeling that a human mind is behind the game, dominating the inanimate pieces with which the game is carried on, and giving them the breath of life. -Richard Reti

For surely of all the drugs in the world, Chess must be the most permanently pleasurable. -Assiac
