If I see a Skull I take it........I am a constant "student of the game" as are we all in a sense, always wanting to improve and to learn as much as I possibly can about the game of Chess, to have the opportunity to be able to grasp its nuance, theory & to understand ultimately that at its core it is simply not just a board game with unique pieces, but a true & great example of the depth & potential of the human mind in itself. l have been playing Chess off and on since my father first taught me how to play when I was ten years old, I was a once member for a time of the USCF, but never played in any USCF sanctioned tournaments. Although I do hopefully look forward to one day being comptitive enough to play at a higher level sometime in the near future........
