I started chess very late in my teens, but once I figured out that I really enjoyed the game I averaged over 10 games a day. Never over 20 games, though, I didn’t want to be a chess freak.

I had roommates in college who played poker and blackjack probably 20 - 30 hours a week, bunched into 8 - 10 hour sessions. At the start of the year they would often play until 4 AM, until they knew who to play and who not to play.

I had some great friendships within the chess community, and we watched the situation in Iran become very dangerous in the late 70s. Played with Iranians, Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese and lots of Europeans.

For some reason I didn’t date a lot. Wonder why.

This is an old thread... but I wondering if there is a safe site to download a free chess game to my computer.
