Recently became a subscriber. Building up my rating slowly. I definately never use any chess programs to help in my quest (as the odd "Laurel and Hardy-esque" style move will frequently demonstrate). I enjoy a good challenge and usually make a move or more per day (sometimes not in weekends). I am usually happy to accept challenges if they seem fair, but please introduce yourself first. Enjoy your chess!
