I got so into it that I even joined the Chess Club at my junior high school.<br /><br />I never play it anymore, but I still think it's the all-time greatest game. Loved chess. At one time I even hoped to be rated as a "Master" by the age of 16. Never got within a million miles of achieving that goal... kinda discovered girls and stuffs, and chess took a back seat. But I never totally lost my love of the game, either.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
