Retired teacher/coach. Love the tactical aspect of the game. Have only played regularly for the past two years with friends. Started online Jan. 1, 2019, on this site. Will play fairly quickly like a live match as long as I'm not sleeping or driving somewhere. Will check my phone often to know status of moves, and will not use any outside help (person or computer).
