I'm recently retired and taking up chess again (last competitive games at Uni !) Most days I can play early morning or late afternoon/evening; I won't be using any books/computer programs, and guarantee to move within 5 minutes of seeing opponent's move - but I will take the game (skull) if you do not move within the prescribed time, and expect you to do the same !
