I also have a baby, a little boy who is now two weeks old. (It's now 1am in the morning and I have just subdued him, if only briefly) which pushes my seriousness down from 7 to 5. Because I'm awake more (virtually all the time) I can play chess more, but usually I'm too tired to think about my moves or care much. It also leaves me pretty brain-dead when it comes to contributing something to the forums. Wait...the monster stirs....

I would say I try to play like an 8. Care about the outcome as a 2. 🙂
Since I got a little hog wild lately and bit off a few more games than I can chew, I've been playing like a 4. 😛

Girls mate, girls. It would be selfish of Phlabibit to restrict himself to only one filly.

I just thought it might be fun if people put down on a scale of 1-10 how serious they are about chess. 1 being not really bothered, and 10,well speaks for itself.

Me i`m probably about a 5. Win some lose lots, but i dont mind. I just enjoy playing.

I would give myself 4, because I play when i want and dont take a book since many years ago. I play for fun.

I'm a 2. I'm here strictly for the fun and the community, and my rating bears this out.

Granted, I really enjoy chess!
