I play chess whilst I'm at work, which is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7:15-4:15. I usually move straight away so fast games preferred.
I have always known the rules to the game but never realised how much stategy there is to it until lately, so "yes"....I am a bit of a newbie to the strategy side of the game.
Hopefully this doesn't put you off playing me though, practice makes perfect and at least your rating will go up if you beat me lol
