Everyone is sooo funny but no one is really answering chesskid001. This is not the way to treat a newcomer.

A rec is (as said) a recommendation. If you like a certain posting and want to say so without acutally give a posting saying so. It's enough to recomend it as a good one, hence "to rec someone or something". A kind of RHP-jargon.

But to be able to do this you have to be a subscriber (I think), not only a member.

And for everyone - be gentle to newcomers. They are supposed to be subscribers too eventually and help Russ to make the site be even better than it is now.

If you like this posting - rec me, will you.

I have been on this site for almost 2yrs and I didn't know what a rec was ! Why would I ? I know how to play chess (but to no great standard). It's not obvious to everyone. Be gentle.
