🙁 Will I ever be able to understand such phrases in English? How much learning do I need to ever have a chance of being sure what you meant by wander along? Definitely we are being discriminated outside native-english-speaking countries... I'm just looking at the sentence from every possible side and have no clue. As always :-/

Yeah it is but it doesn't change the fact that can get pretty difficult. Not to talk of when you're still a novice.

How did you get that wormwood name? I only know of it from one of the Revelation seal judgements that poisoned the waters.

If I sign up on another chess site I'll probably go by the name of Fritz or Shredder. That will definately get them thinking. 😛

OK so lets look at you name, I get the Ketchup part, so is this KetchupKat? If your name is Heinz and you chose that as your screen name you have no business creating this thread sinc e I think using your name could be the lamest thing going.
