I've been playing chess for just under a year now. I enjoy these correspondence games as it gives me (much needed) time to think and hopefully to slowly improve my game. I usually get the chance to make several moves throughout the day and usually play openings fairly quickly (well... the openings I'm familiar with, anyway!).
