Um... I play a little... but not enough to know what my rating is... or care. Please move your left little finger 7/16ths of an inch (or the metric equivalent)... and turn off Mr. Capslock.

I was going to say that :D . On both statements. Do you think Universal is an INTP for real? Just a feeling I'm getting from my N, thats all.

I played a guy once who was in the US top 1000 ranked chess players. We played 2 games with no time limit, and I beat him the second time...at 3:00AM, over numerous shots of Tequila.

So he asks me if we can go back to the move I made that ruined his game, and when I said "yes" he proceeded to set up the board exactly as it was at that point. Then he kicked my ass... :lol:

Ever tried Suicide Chess? I like it, because I'm better at that than regular. All the pieces move normally... but the first person to run out of pieces wins. If you can take a piece, you have to, but you do get to choose if there's more than one open.

On ICC (back when I used to compete over the board until 2-3 years ago) I reached 2424 blitz and 2256 standard ... right now I'd probably be a little less in blitz since I'm very rusty, but my standard play maybe the same or better. Hard to say what I'd be now, my concentration is better and I'm a little more mentally/emotionally stable than I was before. =P

My problem now would be slower at spotting tactics than I used to be, and rusty opening play. I think I'd also be a little inconsistant until I got back into practice. Oh well, I'll play again one day. =]

btw what's your rating?
