Default Chess

Do we have any Chess players on the forum? I play a fair amount, but I'm not very good. I just like the game. I have a few friends who compete in tournaments and do pretty well. Any other takers?

I play from time to time. Used to play religeously in school, and did pretty well. Not too sure how I rank up compared to others today, though.

Did you find that your religious chess play and your faith were linked? How would you define them?

Just kidding... inside joke from another thread.

I enjoy playing chess when I have the oppurtunity to. I'm not hardcore about the game, but I do believe i'm a fairly decent player.

I play chess on my computer and a little with some family members. I always play 2 out of 3. That gives me time to learn their strategies and adjust. Any good tips out there?
