Hello :-)

I see a lot of posts for what I would call "regular sports". I am not healthy enough to do those sports, but I do play a lot of chess. Chess is a sport that anyone can play. Some would say it is not a sport, but just a game, but I find that to be inaccurate. Players all over the world study every day and work very hard just like football players, basketball players, or any other athlete. The field in chess is just a smaller since it is only a 64 square board :-)

The Internet has made it possible for anyone to compete in the 64 Square Arena :-)

I hope to see some of you on the board sometime :-)

good luck in all your battles.

it's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it ;)

Been a long time since i played...used to play all the time. There is a starbucks near my house with a huge chess board out side on a patio, The chess pieces are about 2-3ft tall. I have been wanting to go play over there ever since I found out about it!!!
