I've played chess from time to time over the years, coming only recently to online chess.
I must say that I enjoy playing these online games especially when my opponent is willing to connect, to comment, banter and even analyse - not just move like a machine: the grand game of chess has more dimensions than simply the moves!
A favourite quotation:
"My God! I have a winning position!" Darga (a moment after resigning)
