My Profile got deleted by mistake with the New Format. Moderator found and sent me what I had before, Thank you Moderator for looking. [I returned to chess in October, 2006 after about a decade away from the game. This is where the name "Very Rusty" came from. Like my chess games, I certainly wasn't thinking long term. I do take skulls in Clan Challenges, unless you have a good reason why I shouldn't. Breaking Bad 1rst Place Clan Champions 2022.]
