Welcome, Allen, You're the part of a small but growing group of chess enthusiasts who play for the fun of playing. But, unfortunate for me, too many of these Hadley chess graduates have made me bow before their mighty hand. Will you join that number who enjoys showing me who is boss of the board? (grin) I have one tournament game in process with having answered a request from another this morning to play a friendly game. Even so, if I'm not biting off too big a chunk, I'll try to redeem myself from those humiliating losses to you Hadley chess wizards. But I do not wish to embarrass either of us by playing on the list as a couple of others are doing.
