Neither am I. I just love the game (almost as much as being last on this thread).

In 1965 I had a rating of around 1,500. Wasn't the best or worst in the chess club. I had fun with it in HS, but not in college. The players there took the game way to seriously for me.

And, the last time I played chess was somewhere in the early 70s. Not many Navy ppl played chess.

I do have a chess game for my PDA but havn't installed it yet.

I didn't pick up the game until my first year in law school (not a good idea).

I use PocketGrandmaster, CEBoard 2.0, and ChessGenius on my x50v. Still, there's nothing like playing a human opponent. At least I'd have a chance.

What, Law School wasn't challenging enough?

I've got the Championship Chess Pro myself. But, like I said before, haven't loaded it.

I've never played against a computer myself. Only humans. I did play in matches where moved were mailed between opponents. It was about the only way to improve your skills and get a better rating. Makes for a long game tho.

I've never played postal chess but it might be interesting to play a game by email. It would be faster than "snail mail".

Who is this interloper who thinks he can waltz in here as if he was moving Queen to Kings Bishop 4!

My Alekhine's gun will put you in your place, now you may as well resign.
