My concentration is week, and often lost. At home in front of the computer, I woundn't know a PV from a Blunder check, if it wasn't for reading Komputer Korner. My attention is so easily diverted to the television, to Holly (sadly, no more soon), and a dozen other random interubtions, called life! My greatest joy, and biggest weakness in Chess up to this time. No, I need to go to the chess club, where us strange chessplayer's are all isolated from the 'Real World', out there, and forced (between pairings), to look at the board & the clock, for at least 30 minutes (each). Holly claims that I am dyslexic, and not really only 99 IQ, but the only proof she has offered so far is that the 99 IQ people don't know they are 99 IQ !? Well, we'll see in a year or so if she is right about that... mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
