Originally posted by genius9.8975. I own a few books, some are still hiding after the move to my new place. I like to study my games before I make a move. I don't really slow down at the end of a lost position, but I will still give the position a go and hope for the best. I'd like to see my rating go up, up, up to 1500's and beyond... but I am flat at high 1300's for now it seems. I just can't think about EVERY move so I end up making a bad one now and then. Chess Is Fun!
6 come 7-chess ain't my life-[b]gotta think regarding particularly sensitive issues...(gawd-that took me a while to work out 😛) i own 2 books-a beginers one and an opening one, and i've rented some from the library, and i'm about to play in my second tournament outside of school-waw!...[/b]
Originally posted by Cheshire CatI also have a baby, a little boy who is now two weeks old. (It's now 1am in the morning and I have just subdued him, if only briefly) which pushes my seriousness down from 7 to 5. Because I'm awake more (virtually all the time) I can play chess more, but usually I'm too tired to think about my moves or care much. It also leaves me pretty brain-dead when it comes to contributing something to the forums. Wait...the monster stirs....
That's awesome. I had hoped I wasn't the only one. 😵

Originally posted by PaulieI would give myself 4, because I play when i want and dont take a book since many years ago. I play for fun.
I just thought it might be fun if people put down on a scale of 1-10 how serious they are about chess. 1 being not really bothered, and 10,well speaks for itself.
Me i`m probably about a 5. Win some lose lots, but i dont mind. I just enjoy playing.
