As of today (8/20/4) my rapid rating at instantchess.com is 1348 (won 9 lost 20). I live in a suburb of Philly PA. I find chess to be a wonderful mental challenge. The basics are simple, but the variations complex. Some day I hope to be an expert. I could easily study this game 40 hours or more per week if I had that much free time. Chess is becoming like an addiction for me. I want to learn and play until I feel comfortable calling myself an expert, but that could take years at the rate I am going. I enjoy other things, however. I find languages,zoology, astronomy, astrology, religion, politics and history to be interesting to study and enjoy various types of music. Of all animals I find the bat to be the most interesting. I like ancient and medieval history. I find Presidential Politics and the history of it interesting, especially looking the way the electoral college works (which it doesn't always work, in my opinion).
I HAVE been online since 1996.
I have a discussion site, but it hasn't been active in a while.. maybe some day.. I wouldn't mind discussing any of the interests listed above on my site.
Here is a link to my chess(discussion)board which nobody else(so far) has visited:
