Okay, so I've been playing chess as a board game since age 4, but I never learned the lingo. Anyone care to enlighten me? Thx!

You shoulda.

BTW, I've lost more money as a result of people's greed than you can even imagine. I'd estimate somewhere between $250,000 and $2,000,000 and I'm only 18. BTW, that's money that I would have (deservedly) inherited. All gone now though - I can barely pay for college while the greedy bastards that got the money can blow it on their local country club - where I'm working at instead of being a member of.

You'd blow...I doubt it. Wanna coach me?

That's my point, people. I don't want to be abrasive, I just want to learn. 🙂

My grandparents took a solid 50 grand from me, I plan to pay them a (non-violent, but still angry) visit soon. Money isn't worth killing over - just destroying the thieves pride.

Well what do you want me to do? What exactly do you want to learn.

Go to:

chess.emrald.net and practice some tactics. I can help you with some other stuff I guess, but tactics will get you to 2000.

I sent you a challenge, but you've gotta move if you want to play against 1.d4! 😛
