I'm retired so I have more time to play chess. I try to be courteous to everyone I play, whether I win or not. I do not use any computers to suggest moves, although I do occasionally check databases or books on openings. Since this is a type of correspondence chess I think this is ok. I will respect vacation flags within reason.
