Chess has been a lifelong hobby; when an exciting game, with lots of creative moves, comes along, it's lots of fun. It's a challenge to raise ones rating, but I don't take skulls for the sake of boosting my rating; I always give an opponent the benefit of the doubt. It's only a game!
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
