How are you going? I really need to find more time to practice my chess! } 2. Nf3 { Gary: I'm not doing to bad thanks and yourself? You should join a local chess club I'm in one and I get loads of practice there I've played about 26 league games so far plus I've been in a few tournaments this season and we have a couple of months left in the season aswell so I will prob play about 35 league games if not more. } 2... d6 { Calypso: I am going pretty well too, thanks. Just absolutely flat out. That is an excellent suggestion. I used lead a chess team at school. Now I am in my last year of engineering degree and have so much to do that finding time to play chess is pretty near impossible if it isn't online. At the end of the year once I have finished my degree I think I will look into it further. Sounds like you have got plenty of practice out of it. } 3. d4 { Gary: yep I have got quite alot of practice out of it and improved quite alot where as if I hadn't joined a club I wouldn't have improved all that much. } 3...
