I'm terrible. I just started playing this week at the extended day program I work at. These kids are checkmating me right and left. Granted, they are all asian... Still, I should at least be able to hold my own. I get way too aggressive and that is always my downfall.

Any tips?

Can you explain the rules?

i play on the facebook. one or two moves a day with a friend of mine. loads of fun. i wake up, sip my coffee, and stare at the board. lol.

Maybe I should just start playing with people my age?

I'm really bad. Wanna play me in yahoo chess sometime Reider?

the RMer? or the demographic?

I'm working at a new school this year due to some incriminating Vegas pictures being discovered, and they don't have a chess board. I might go browse goodwill or something and remedy that.
