Looked at some of the pics from the big party at daniels. I really enjoyed the inside peak of daniels world. Even if i wasn't invited, lol.
I have wondered if daniel played chess. Having seen the chess set in his house, I am assuming he does. I would like to know his ability.
I also think it would be fun to post our abilities.
I learned the game about ten years ago and have enjoyed it ever since. When I played on yahoos site last my rating was 1380, nothing to brag about but respectable. Don't play much live being I trounce most of my friends and it is somewhat boring for me. The alternative is getting my ass kicked online and I have issues with that as well.
I feel fortunate to have learned within a chess community in Seattle. It was a cafe called the paradiso. Lots of a and b players. sometimes masters and even grandmasters would come and offer their tuteledge. When I was just learning their were times when I would be at the table with Yasser Seirawan (gm) . He would be giving pointers to my friend who was an a player. I sat and watched, not really grasping much, being they were moving the pieces around so fast as they recreated past and future scenarios.
Anyhow, I'm sure their must be some good FCP chess players and was curious who they are. Does Daniel play? Someday I'll study and get better but it takes up lots of time.
