Just curious. I like both games but I like them in different ways. Chess is more intellectual and WOW has a funner ambiance.

Im sure there is plenty out there that play. :-P
I used to play A TON, but limited myself lately because of school and work.
I have to admit it has become an extremely easy game though >.<

You not only keep a chess improvement diary, you also think others would be interested enough to care. Is yours set to 12?

not that you'd care of course, but in the first post I explain why it's online. which is because I lost the first six months of my training diary in a computer meltdown, the most important part, and I wanted to prevent that from ever happening again. so I keep data on my computer as well as online.

Well I enjoyed your responses. But let's all just remember one thing. As chess players we really can't accuse anyone of being a GEEK no matter what they do.🙂
