    I'd sign up, but I'm afraid it would be like a toddler on aspartame finding his way onto the M4 on a trike.

    I've joined. Like a game, no expert.

    I've challenged @sillavnitram to a game.

    Me too to both.

    I can survive against the computer at 'medium'. I'll play anyone that loses at this level.

    Sorry - I love to play but I literally don't have the time. Also, my confidence is severely dented after being destroyed by the Russian software developer I work with

    You should consider a system where you take off pieces on your side until you win. If you win 3 games in a row then they get a piece back and you lose 3 games in a row they lose a piece. Levels it up and makes the games competitive for both players.

    You misunderstand. I'm actually a decent player (rating around 1900 or so last I seriously played). I just got annihilated by the software development equivalent of Garry Kasparov :)

    Maybe you can play some lesser mortals of CL to rebuild your confidence ?

    Seriously - I do love chess, but it's so time consuming and I just don't have the time spare

    I will vouch for Leroy. He sorted my pawn to queens knight four ploy. If Leroy had the time then there is the captain of any Charlton chess team.

    This "medium" computer programme is bizarre. I have never seen a queen sacrificed within the first 7 moves and then the king used aggressively to invade a fully intact enemy camp. It was so random I was a at a loss as to what to do for several moves...
