Greetings everyone... just wanted to start by saying he to everyone. I played tournement chess from age 5 to about 19 seriously, after that I insisted on playing a few tourneys but NOT seriously and my rating suffered deservedly lol... anyway, the chess bug layed dorment while I focused on some other areas in life, but unexpectedly in came back with a vengence. Currently I am rebuilding my opening repertoire, sharpening the tactical weaponry, and dusting off the rook and pawn endings (with a bit of help from a trusty endgame manual you may know) Hopefully, I can get the rust off, and get back to competition, but it will take awhile... right now I have a long way to go, but ill keep everyone updated. Thanks

Hiya.
