Does Anyone On the Forum Enjoy Chess?

Post by Smith1776 »

Hey guys,

I'm a big fan of chess and have games going on the chess.com app pretty much all the time. I just play a move when I have a spare moment.

Does anyone else on the forum play? I figured we could get some games going.

Anyone who would like to play can add me. Username is Rispar1867.

My rating is about 1400.

I enjoy it but I'd be thrilled if I was rated a "C' player.

What has given you that rating?

Someone just started a game with me and added me as a friend. I assume it’s from the forum. Yay!

My 1400 rating comes from playing almost 1300 games in 11 years. I try to play against those rated higher than I am. I once beat a guy rated at 1810. Don’t recall how. Now playing against that rating usually completes my humiliation in 25 moves.

I believe I am in the 32nd percentile. The rating ceiling seems to be 2700.

Even for people not fans of chess, “Pawn Sacrifice” with Toby McGuire was an enjoyable movie.
