Well not so often; but yep, I'm a quick reader *and* writer.
Therefore once a boss of mine even thought I was dyslectic or so.
But I didn't bother to tell him that's just a matter of general talent
:)
Except in chess where you can't make mistakes; at least not big ones..

Sure, reasonably clear. Maybe I'll inform at a Dutch chess shop
one of these days about the CSTal system. Personally I do find
attacking play interesting, as that's sometimes the
way to beat a computer, well at least if it's not too strong
(you know, with Qxa2 and so on, while you go after the king at g8).
So other way around, a program who anticipates on such
kingside attacks may also be stronger in defending
against humans; pity the discontinued the Aegon tournament.
good luck
