A friend of mine cruelly tricked me into yet another site to help absorb my time while I'm online. It's been years since I've played chess and I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it, so of course I'm sticking around.
Addendum - Work & life were very busy for the past 8 months and chess fell to the wayside. I'm going to try to slowly ease back in, moving at least once a week.
