a huge thnx to you great people willing to shell out the bigger $$, ( i did for a few years) to support this gr8t site; & i encourage those playing above 100 games or so, that can afford to ... & then you dont have to see all the adds : } site otta have a student rate too ?

... holas , located in sw usa : arizona ... wildlife ecologist / fair racquetball player (b) ..... reckless chess player ... but love the game ..: } & like any good rook or magpie ... "the raven" loves to taunt & jest during the game ...

... & an upd8te... to those under ~ 1.3-1.5 K ... to suddenly (w/o notice) , just quit [resign] ... is to disrespect the game, yourself & more importantly your partner ... play it out ... you'll be amazed how often @ our level ... lady luck &/or blunder plays her hand ... njoy the ryde & get over the fact you just myte lose anudda game : } we all need endgame practice ...

... and perhaps lastly (likely-knot) ... for those, who like myself, might suggest chess emulates life ... haha ... oh if only life came @ us 8 squares wide & 1 hop @ a time ... haha ... yes ... the thrill of it all ...

2020-24 pandemic upd8te; sorry to the world we spawned the pygg traitorchump ... as a britisher by birth, im still ashamed ... Can anyone imagine that dimwit playing checkers, never mind chess ? hahaha ... & so many desperate fools endorse his madness.
Back to chess, if you cheat and use a phone or tablet on the side ... you disgrace our game ... dont do that, ur better than that ... dont be a trump nor a chump.
& yet a sliver of the electorate still chose this PoS .. incredible, until 1 understands 1/2 of america cannot pass 6th grade math/history, nor english ... the same 1/2 that mngd to vote : {
Like patriot Yvonovitch, we're all going to go thru "some rough things" ... may the dullards suffer 1st.

... cheers to all ... vaya en paz / juan
