About Very Rusty
I returned to chess in October, 2006 after about a decade away from the game. This is where the name "Very Rusty" came from. Like my chess games, I certainly wasn't thinking long term. I do take skulls, unless you have a good reason why I shouldn't. Moving too fast, and cutting down my gameload are two things I have to work on. I am now down to around 300 from over 600 games!
