I just renewed my membership to the Internet Chess Club. I let it expire and haven't played any internet chess for something like a year. I go through phases when I'll play a lot and then I'll just not play at all for a while.

Even when I'm not playing any chess I like to solve chess problems. I like solving mate in 2 and mate in 3. I can systematically solve any mate in 2 or 3 that I want. Mate in 4 and up I usually don't use any particular fixed method but I can solve them if I put enough time in.

I'm EntityX on the Internet Chess Club also. It's $ 34.95 for a 6 month membership. http://www.chessclub.com

If you want to try out internet chess you can do it for free at the Free Internet Chess Server. http://www.freechess.org

There's also Chess Here

A free membership with them will get you 5 games a day.

I played some tournament chess back in the 90's. My peak USCF rating was 1779. That's B+ level. So above me there are A players (1800- 1999), Experts (2000-2199), Masters (2200-2399) and Senior Masters(2400 and up). Among senior masters are International Masters or IMs and Grandmasters or GMs. So I'm just a small fish in the sea of chess players but when I play I enjoy it.

My peak rating on ICC was 1936 back in 2007. I thought, wow, I'm getting a lot better. Someone told me that an ICC rating is about 150 points above a USCF rating so 1936 ICC would equate to 1786 USCF. So I guess I'm about like I was a while back.
