GH > haven't played tourney chess for like 2 years...
I played a lot in the '70's, "retired" for about 5 or 6
years, then played occassionally from the mid '80's to
date. These days, I only play in 2 club tourneys per
year. My "theory" might be a bit dated, but then I was
always a "book hater" anyway ;-)

I lost this game but it was a tough fight. My Opponent played the endgame
very well. He had a few tricky positions during the middle game
which he later acknowledged were traps and said he was prepared to
offer me a draw towards the end but decided to tough it out.

assistant: Hi Jim,
I'm interested in playing, although I'm not certain about the notation
ystem.
I'm sure i'll pick it up quickly enough.
I used to play at work until 1983-4, but I haven't played since except a few
games trying to loose against my young son! Not the best way to develop or
even
maintain playing ability.
Regards,
Greg.P.

        I didn't notice the delay in your reply cause i was gone
fishing!:)   I love fishing I sit in one play from 6 am to 10 pm even
if i don't catch anything all day.  I had a pretty slow day when i was
fishing and when i finally did hook a fish, it spit out the hook right
near shore.  I was kind of mad but that is how it goes.   The fish was
around 3-4 pounds and if was a northern pike.

sure hope i am printing this right.  It is a good thing i am sending an
explination with each of my moves!
My board was messed a bit so i read through the old messages and
replayed the game   This helped me learn the format a bit.  I have a
question, i didn't move any bishops yet right?
