"A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." Chinese Prover (http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/32231.html)
I have played chess for a few years now. I love the game and the thinking that goes into playing it. I have been in a few tournaments(offline) but still have a fairly low rating. I hope that I will be able to increase my Red Hot Pawn rating over time.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
