[QUOTE="E. Mortimer, post: 68199797, member: 378119"] I clicked on this particular section with the intention of starting a chess-related thread and what is the first thread that I see right at the top of the list? It must be God's Will.... Okay, probably not. It is a pretty old game, after all and it attracts players from all over the world. I love this game because two people separated by language and culture can still sit down and play and know that they share something in common. Now I'm not trying to advertise another site here on CF, but I've noticed that there seems to be no way to actually [I]play [/I]chess here on the site and so I am going to post [URL='http://www.chess.com/members/view/SerEdMort']a link to my chess.com profile[/URL] where I invite anybody who may be interested in playing to come and do so. Chess.com offers absolutely free accounts with the choice of three different types of premium memberships, but there are no restrictions on actual play with the free account. [B]No credit card or even personal information beyond an e-mail address is required for a free account. [/B] If you choose to make an account (or if you already have one), then feel free to send me a challenge. I will play either live games or turn-based games, whichever you prefer. Just know that in the event of a live game, I prefer a 30-minute time limit though I may occasionally play games no shorter than 10 minutes. And if you prefer, I will also play games with a longer time limit than 30 minutes. So long as you are respectful and take the game seriously, I will play against all challengers. And depending on the time limit of the game, I will even be happy to chat with you during our game. You don't need to identify yourself as a CF user if you do not wish to nor do you have to tell me exactly who you are from the site. I am simply looking for some friendly games and am also open to some friendly chat, as well. I have been playing chess for a very long time since I was a boy, but I am by no means a Grand Master. In fact, I would say that on my best days, I am above average. I am willing to play with people of all skill levels and will even do my best to help you improve your game as I hope to improve my own. In total, I've been a member of chess.com for a couple of years, but I stopped playing online for a long time and when I returned, I decided to start fresh by deleting my old account and creating a new one and so you may notice that I have none/few games under my belt. I myself am considering a premium membership as I have heard that doing so has helped many players improve their game. Just remember, you [I][B]do not [/B][/I]need anything more than a free account if all you wish to do is play against other people. I have read the CF rules very carefully and I do not believe I am breaking them by trying to convince other people to join another site. After all, it is a chess site and is not designed to steal members from this site, but if this is in some way against the rules then all I can do is apologize and agree to delete this post if it is not done for me. I know, I know. I'm long-winded. I'm a writer. You should see my first draft narratives. Phew! Anyways, that's enough out of me. I hope to see you on the board! [B]P.S.
