I don't know if I want to get the pants beaten off me. Been a long time since I played.

I'm road tripping this weekend, but I can tuck your username away for the next occasion when I have time for a game.

I enjoy strategy games although I often end up top dog... I enjoy the process of playing the game!

It's one of the things that I embrace because I love it...

I hold those things near and dear!

that involves no luck. None whatsoever.

No cards, no dice. All skill.

You ever try 3D chess?

Standard chess is the only variant I’ve participated within although I am open to other variants as well.

Is 3d your favorite?

Maybe some day, but not likely. There are few people in my orbit who play chess at all. I'd have to seek out a club, but I'm not motivated to do that. Or possibly online sometime.

Let me know if you'd like to play on Optime...

I'll check it out and look for you there if you would.

I don't really have the time to play much, but I hope I can eventually clear things off my plate so I can.

I played a few scholastic tournaments in high school, but haven't had much chance to play since then, so I'm pretty rusty. I wasn't all that good then, just better than most of the competition I had. I've played a little more in recent years, almost all of it with the Scouts I've worked with (there's a merit badge for it now!) That has let me sharpen up a bit. but I'm still not that great. So we'll see where it goes!

I set the first one up for a 3 day window for moves...

I've no idea what your schedule might be and don't wish to assume...

Happy Saturday y'all!!

I got both swamped with work demands an stomach flu.
I think I'd better just stick with my one chess outlet. I'm old enough to get easily burnt out just trying to include even things that delight me.
