Yes,I was away for about a month in case nobody noticed. :o) At the time of leaving I was sure it was for good.But,I just missed you guys too much.
My rating has dropped to 900(used to be anything from 1250 to 1450)
I will state this fact before my first move in any game as I do not want to come across as some kind of a con artist. :o)
I am back for good and it feels just right.

Welcome back Johan! π 900 eh? Better win a batch of open invites and get that rating back up! If you're short of games I'll play you un-rated until you get back up to strength π
Andrew
I have MISSED our games.I will send an unrated game over.
Home at last.π

You can get the gory details of my game with Gazza in the 'only chess' forum π
Send an unrated game over when you're ready (if Rhymester can worry about his rating, I don't see why I shouldn't!) π

Now you've done it. I'm mobilising the squirrel forces as I speak. Games on way for ya both.
Feel the wrath of Bob and co. π
For no mercy shall we show
Braino's back like some evil curse π
As for Rhymester, he just gets worse π
Schliemann and Fernando have me by the Najdorfs π
Giving me some tips, 'cos they're just good sports
All the while ReelEmIn's dishing out some grief
And in the game with Bbarr there's to be found no relief π
Tebbo's turning the screw; it aint pretty that's for sure
But did he tell you our last game finished as a draw? π
Now rwingett's attacking with his raccoon army
And y'all say I'm the buffoon who's barmy?! π
So with a steely look I rip off my vest
Revealing 'The Squirrel Lover' tattooed across my chest (π²)
Bob's squirrel forces and I embark upon this conquest
23 games waiting now...it's time for chess
