    Recently got back in to playing Chess a little, on Chess.com

    If anyone fancies a game on there, my user name is EddieEdouard :56: just search the username and request a game..

    If we get a few bodies in we could have our own wee tournament..

    Gets the old grey matter working..:50:

    Started playing a couple of months ago. Just beat a computer player with a 1000 score (whatever that means)

    Fair enough he has beat me about 50 times but still :giggle1:
