Any chess players?
 

I've been wondering - how many chess players are out here in FIRST?

Anyways, if you do play chess, post what regional you plan on attending and your USCF rating(if you have one). It works quite fine as a general indicator of skill.

I'll go first

Rating - 1285
Pac. NW
Silicon Valley
Sacramento

I was really good a while ago. I haven't been in practice as much because of a lack of time and not installing Chessmaster on my computer. I think my rating was like 1500 or something, based on the guy that I had (unexpectedly) beaten.

Heh - 1400 - 1500 is the sweet spot - it's a pretty good rating.

To go above it, you'll have to kinda devote your life to chess.

w00t I have Chessmaster 9000 (the secret to my previous success) installed again. But it will take a few months of productive computer time to get back to my former pwning strength.
