Originally posted by RahimKI played very little chess between my sophomore year and the conclusion of graduate school, and nearly all was with friends and family (casual games). Sometimes I regret the time away.
I don't want to improve anymore. I don't think it's worth the effort anymore.
Now I understand how those people play for years without caring about their results, without improving. They play just for the fun.
I think the age thing is coming into play also. There are more important things right now for me then chess like careers, graduation etc....
Originally posted by WulebgrHeck, during my 4 years of college there wasn't a club within 50 miles so I made do with the 3 people at Math club who would play me (I never lost) and Yahoo Chess. By the time I started playing seriously again, my tactical verve was gone.
