It suprises me that you think taking chess lessons is sad, I have to admit the idea has crossed my mind, on the plus side my thoughts are well I have paid for tennis and golf lessons in the past why not chess? if it speeds up the learning process it can't be a bad thing. On the negative side I know that I am too busy to put enough time in to analyse and st ...[text shortened]... w you, do you not think someone rated 500 points above you could teach you a thing or two?

Forget what I wrote. It was directed at someone, but that's all in the past. We got it all sorted out.

Chess lessons are great if you got the money.

well my humbleness goes beyond that, recently I have been thinking I just might not be good enough to improve much more. Although I know that I am not doing much studying at the moment (or the last year) due to work pressures and having just moved house).

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. My target was the same as Rahim's.

Powershaker you're an idiot. Rating follows skill not the other way round.

Hey,how's that you're still in the 1500s?
You're all talk and no facts.

Because I don't have the time every day to make the best moves. I told you. I make all my moves in 30 minutes at the library on average. If I move after that, it is moving again the same games. If I were at home and could think like most of the people on here, I could easily get over 1600 on here. No problem. Not to mention though I'm playing too many games to break 1600. I just don't consider this a sanctioned USCF tournament. But, I'm probably moving to Florida soon, so when I get my new place, I might be able to get my laptop hooked up to DSL or something. Then, I fully plan on making my moves with more thought.

The depth of my words are much to ponder. It is only the wise who will understand. LOL
