Butterflies

I used to play chess fairly regularly back in college. Life got in the way and here I am many years later trying to rekindle my passion for Caissa. Or is it the other way - I thought I'd escaped - but maybe she just gave me a leave of absence.

At any rate, I joined the MetroWest Chess Club a few months ago and started playing OTB. It is a nice and friendly club. We meet every Tuesday for a standard USCF rated game. I play in the U1700 section and have been losing a lot of games. WOW! Maybe I'm not as good as I thought I was :)  What a revelation. By the way, I still get butterflies playing online or OTB.

This blog is my attempt at documenting my efforts to improve at chess.

Caissa, you have me hooked.
