    Believe it or not....

    Keeping up with chess theory, commiting games and patterns to memory, as well as staying alert and keeping in mental shape by moving the arm and staring at your opponent in the eye can be very taxing on one's time.

    (Hopefully, I won't have to write another long and dull sentence like that to state the feeling of frustation.)

    But to love chess isn't enough to be and stay a strong player. Hower, chess is all about repetition. And if you're not near-OCD, a control-freak or otherwise an unsympathetic slacker, than chess is for you.

    For the record, I must state that I'm none of the above -- well, except maybe for the unsympathetic slacker.

    Also for the record I promise to do a better job at writing entries more often, and entries that have a bit of more chess-fueled substance.

    Don't forget to check out the other blogs in this joint...

    Remember: Develop your pieces!
