This place is so empty, my thoughts are so tempting... But it's the only thing that I have. If you believe it's in my soul, I'll say all the words that I know; just to see if it would show, that I'm trying to let you know... That I'm better off on my own.

Other than that, I don't think there are any rules regarding which hand to use for what. And even that rule is only enforced for blitz games, when speed really matters. --Fromper __________________ Current study plan: 1. Play at least 2 slow USCF rated games per week. 2.

Of course. There are no rules against this.
