Hi.... I found this site by chance and am happy I did. Seems well organized. Just like everyone else here, I too like to play chess. Win or lose, hopefully you always learn something. By the way... I'm 60 years old and live in beautiful Niagara Falls. My all time favourite players were Steinitz, Blackburne, Lasker and Tchigorin.
