Marko Krale

Dear chessfriends - does anyone know something about Marko Krale, one of our most active players here since a long time? He did not move for many weeks.
I hope he is fine...

Rather worrying from such a prolific player. Hopefully taking a wee break.

He is a member of a few clubs. Maybe one of those has a contact.

Hmm. Not even an option to send a message.

Good idea - I have sent him a message. We have played 32 games - I think a friendly question how he feels is o.k. in this context.

I had sent him a message around 18 hours ago. But I'm glad that someone who has played him at RHP has done so also.

Thanks, dear chessfriend!

Maybe the Dark Dragons leader may know. I shall check with him.

According to the club leader, he is taking some time off. The club leader plans to give him a nudge later. Thank you for you observing him not playing. As you know long ago, he and I were going for the 1st million move on this site! I was more driven than him! He is a good player. I mentioned Marko Krale to my wife that he and I were the top players on the site. Her comment: He must not have anything to do! What do wives know (fortunately, she does not know how to read these messages from the site!)?

Thanks, Zorro, old friend!
You are a chess detective! :-)

Thanks Zorro,

I know what you mean about a wife not understanding chess.
A few years back after I came home with a few chess books she
wondered why I needed more:

"Surely you know how the pieces move by now."

Same story with me.
So many people have asked me why I need so many books on how to learn to play chess when they are with me and I buy another one.

"Don't you need just one?"

I correct them obviously and I explain that I am an improving player who studies.

Every book shop says this too...
"So you're learning how to play chess?"
I take offense in mock anger and explain to them I have been playing for 20 years and I'm kind of a big deal.

I leave them wondering what famous chess player they just met.
Of course I am a nobody but that makes it all the better because they don't know.
