Go up one level in this thread


What a frustrating game!! I've started playing on the ICC again after a long
lay-off, and 3 different times I've gotton a 2200+ rating, only too lose again,
and not be able to easily get it back.

Reading chess books doesn't help.  Studying chess software doesn't help.  Even
yelling at my computer doesn't help, I still suck! (by my own standards of what
is a decent level).  Soon I'll be moving back to Levittown, NY, commuting to the
City to play in the Friday night rapids, and then continueing the chess
addiction on the ICC.  Maybe that will help - Well, I can dream can't I?
