Used to play OTB chess in the 70's and 80's and had a USCF "A" rating. Started again with RHP correspondence chess in 2009. Play at a couple of other chess sites too now. Captain of team "Veggie Chess" at one. All flavors of vegetarians welcome - let me know if interested.

Use the permitted tools (analysis, opening database, books, etc.). Often, set up the physical board as I make too many mistakes using the screen image alone. Without using tools, having too many games, and just using screen image I'd drop 600 rating points.

Started "Former NYC Chess Club and Friends" clan for the 1 and 3 day clan leagues. Captain the team but no longer a subscriber so cannot play in the league.
