    Fun FACT!

    The Hummingbird can fly backwards.

    Hummingbirds have unique, impressive flight abilities, such as being able to fly backwards and upside down. These small birds have big appetites due to a fast metabolism, and can consume up to 12 times their bodyweight in nectar every day. They are often highly territorial and fiercely guard their own patch of flowers.

    I have no idea why you got a red thumb or an alert. That is puzzle to me, perhaps someone knows the answer to it.

    I do enjoy tactics and puzzles, my rating now floats between 1300's and 1500's most likely due to playing people much better than myself and carrying too many games at a time which I've been told by higher rated players on more than one occasion. I don't look at ratings being the end all. Although if someone has been here for close to a decade or longer and is below a 1200 rating, they simply aren't interested in chess in my humble opinion, unless of course they are sandbagging their rating.
