I like chess; I actually play it over the Net.

(Look for me either at letsplaychess.com or redhotpawn.com, my two
favourite hangouts for chess on the web.)

Ragtime, I just registered on that server you recommended.

I guess chess isn't going to be the Aspie obession I thought it would be, but I can still enjoy it once in a while.

I've found that I am not capable of choosing my Aspie obsessions, but that they choose me.

I just registered on letsplaychess.com I like the idea of not having to be commited to a whole game all at once. Currently in like 6 games at once, lol. anyways, if you wanna play me, I go by Kalantir on there as well

I used to play it quite frequently in my freshman year of high school. Never won any games though...natural, because my opponent was the school's champion. :P

I used to be good at chess, you know, back when I actually practiced. The highest I got at Gameknot was 1600. I had lots of timeouts though, that hurt my rating. I haven't played in a couple of years. I'm probably pretty rusty.
