I am 50 years old. Started playing chess in a club at the local library in grade 6. Also played a bit during lunches at school in grade 9. After several years off, played some games in university dorm. After several further years off, picked it up again in lunchroom at work during the early 90s. After many years off, discovered this site and now play exclusively online.
