Hey Jack! Wonderful to see you back. I was really sad when I thought you had left for good. I can see you as maybe a "chest" player. You seem to be too much fun for chess. Thanks for sticking around old friend:)

You sound like my dad. He loved to play chess and tennis, and he didn't like to lose. I don't know if he got mad over chess but he lost his cool several times when playing tennis. Blessings, Kim M
