I'm also not truly excited about computer/online chess. I like to sit down with a real board, a drink and a friend (to be a face across the board). Conversation and banter move the experience from an intellectual exercise into the realm of competition and entertainment.

I think I'm much like Aerich - I'm not a big fan of online realtime chess. I like the social aspect of a face to face with one's opponent as well as the artistic/creative aspect of a slower correspondence game. Anyway, even though my next two weeks will also be filled, I'm sure that I can find the time to play somehow. My Yahoo ID is Desuma_Malevois.
