Don't take it so seriously. I just thought it funny that your move frequency is every few days and you post everyday. Please accept my foremost apologies for the typo, I was aware of the "s".
I recently changed my move frequency to "every few days" because I realized that I just don't manage to get through all my games every day. I still sometimes make several moves per day in some of the games, while it may take weeks in others. So the move frequency doesn't really tell much.

Originally posted by zakkwylderI sometimes do. But I also often spend a lot of time on my moves. I am still pretty much a beginner, and if I'd play fast, I would blunder all the time (not that I don't blunder when I play slowly 😉 ).

Originally posted by NordlysUnderstandable. I've got 38 currently. Heavens to Betsy, it's difficult keeping up with them all. I find myself sometimes wondering why someone did something and have to go to the analyze board to see my last move just to get an idea.
I have way too many at the moment, but we can come back to it when I have finished some.
Originally posted by NordlysNordlys , I have to call you out on this . If you're "pretty much a beginner" as you claim , then how is it that you have a rating that indicates you to be in the strong intermediate range ? What in your mind constitutes "pretty much a beginner" ?

Also , the thing that's REALLY bothering me - painting yourself black does not mean you're truely invisible .
Originally posted by Moldy CrowI to found this to be interesting but decided to take her word for it. And if that rating is the mark of a beginner, I guess I need to learn which way the pieces move.

I have played for less than a year. I have gone through the Chess Academy in Chessmaster 10th Edition, but besides that I haven't studied the game much. I don't have any OTB experience (well, I played two games against my father, but we played "correspondence-style", making a move once in a while, not necessarily while the other one was there). As I said before, I spend a lot of time on my moves on TFC. I also make extensive use of the analysis board, and I use an opening database. If I'd play OTB, I am sure I'd play very badly, and nobody would doubt that I am a beginner. Besides, my current rating is somewhat inflated.
