I enjoy chess, but only played when I was very young. I think I last played when I was 12 or 13, and now I'm 37. I try, but make many mistakes with 2 kids running around, or when I try to make a move during the work day. My up and down rating goes with my work load.... high work load = fast moves. To me it's just fun
I will take timeouts unless I'm told up front about an expected delay.
