I've been travelling for most of the time that I've been playing on RHP. It was great, I'd log in every few days from different internet cafes around the world, make a few moves and it was great.
I got back to the UK, and made loads of moves while unemployed, the life of Riley you might say.
However, I went and got myself one of those 'Job' things. Now my RHP is suffering, I get home at night and I'm too knackered to make many moves. Just in a few games with short time controls. By friday night my homepage is full of yellow spinning clocks. I've become a weekend player!
Does anyone else suffer from this problem? are there any cures? other than give up the job? I need help...... Please.....

Originally posted by IraxYes. I got tired of chess and work, after being fired for chess at work. I let all my games die out. It took months though

Originally posted by wormwoodI really need to cut down on my games, that is a big big problem for me just now. I have a bit of time off next week so maybe I'll be able to slash my way through a number of the games, and resist entering tournaments (my biggest weakness). Problem is though that I have loads of Round 2 games starting soon!
slower time controls or maybe even less games?

Originally posted by IraxOh yeah, the beef thing is called kitfo. Delicious. It's raw chopped beef that's been marinated in lemon juice, spices and a little butter. I like the injera (the sourdough flat bread) too.
The food in Ethiopia was great, but after a month of it I was happy to eat something that wasn't Injera! I even had one of their specialities there, raw beef! It was pretty good, although a little chewy!

Originally posted by rbmorrisNo it wasn't the kitfo (although I had that too). It was literally diced raw beer. You'd sometimes see a cow carcus hanging up in one corner of the restaurant. I don't remember what it was called though.

I had it at the Harar brewery in Harar, thankfully I drank some very yeasty beer afterwards to help with the digestion!

Originally posted by IraxI've had Harar beer too. Mine was kind of like a stout. Pretty tasty. Never been to Ethiopia, but there's a good Ethiopian restaurant nearby. I think I need to go this weekend!
