Your right about the bad memory. Have had a slight mental setback. But it is me. And yes, I did very little as a communicator. Have always lacked the imagination to keep up with this gang, but, greatly enjoyed the saber rattling. Hang in there guys and gals. Will be 74 in a few weeks and assure, getting old is one pain in the ass. It is not for the weak minded. Later, and I will be watching you too.

ght a new computer and it would not give me my old name said it was being used by someone else. Snoopy is my dogs name so went with it. Old age has gotten the best of me. I am now playing my first chess in years. Donated all.............my books to a prison located in my area. Hope the inmates appreciate them. It was an extensive and expensive collection. Can only hope they get some good use. Will close for now and hope you give me a game. It will be interesting to see as to whether you are as good a player as you are a looker. Later...........ps; stir up this tired old blood of mine.

it seems like there is a bit of information which is too convulated for me old geezer (44):
* in the first post of the thread you claim to be evilpawn. User 179723 with a rating of about 1500 which seems to be correct.
* In the profile of evilpawn it is stated that the person was 30 years of age. If we presume that the statement was made when the person first registered(2005) this would give a year of birth 1975 and an actual age of 37. Which by my standard is not old age as claimed in the quoted post. Could you reconcile this for me?
* so you got a new computer: congratulations. Actually the computer is not deciding about your username. In the course of the years I easily logged in to the site from about 12+ different computers, also with different operating systems without any problem. The username and passwort are connected to your email. Did you change your emailadress along with the computer? And your password? If you are evilpawn, you have played here for about 5 years. You did all this from the same machine?
* you have a dog named Snoopy. Congratulations on that. As I understood your posting it has to do with your username, which happens to be duck007. I ive up, can you post the next clue please?
* evilpawn last moved less than two years ago, the information is available on the profile. You claim to have the first chess in years. Less than two doesn't merit the pathetic plural, does it?
Anyway welcome back and enjoy the conversation
