I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine

Chad ochoseis Mar 17 2022 05:44 PM

Any chess players in the pool? I joined my office online chess tournament and now that I've finally grown up and my ego can handle getting beat, I've learned that I love the game. I'm offcentre on chess.com, same as on isc.ro. Would've stolen bigjewrig from FMan, but that wouldn't have flown at an insurance company tourney. Anyone up for a game is welcome to challenge me, and if there are enough of us we can think about getting a CPF tournament going.

I take it up for one year, then put it aside for two. Then pick it up again. I get better, but I don't do a good job in learning retention.

I'll play some. Fboy loves it. He beats me pretty consistently now, probably 2/3 of the time. I suck a big fat mackerel but still enjoy it.

Great thread title reference, BTW.

I got a couple lucky wins against higher rated players I was playing regularly. If my rating were adjusted like xFIP or SIERA, I'd probably be like a 900. But yeah, send a challenge when you want! All my friends have gone AWOL from that site.
