enjoy playing, hate losing.. I'm usually claiming time-outs in all the tournament games, them the rules. Also, don't expect (or urge) me to resign just because I happen to be 2 (minor) pieces short, tables might turn any moment, so watch out and good luck! I will only resign when it's hopeless *
* as defined in my book**
** which might as well be being 2 pieces short
2009 resolution: reach 1600+ and maintain it
2010 resolution: maintain 1800+
p.s.
using an engine against me is like pointing an Uzi at a butterfly. if you are, some nasty people are already after you! [knock! knock!]
