More then a Game?

[Scud]

I'm a some time poster on TheBlitz...

Hi Len,

I understand your reasons for playing the AI and nothing at all wrong with that. Still, you're missing out on what is the real beauty of the game by not participating against live opponents. I too love chess and have an electronic version as well. Even though computer chess is near perfect as opposed to CS, I suspect you'll agree chess is still more fun against a human opponent. Especially with a cognac and a game on the TV.

If it's cheating that worries you, I can recommend several opponents, including the posters on this thread, who you can trust to play by the rules. If someone challenges you, take a chance. I can almost guarantee whoever you decide to go with will be an honest player 99% of the time. Reputation is everything here, not winners or losers.

So how about it, give it a shot?

Lastly, I'd love to see you post more often. We need more guys talking it up and sharing opinions.

Thanks,
Dave
