Any Chess players on DU?

1. One here!

Like you, I was on a high school team, better than most of my competition, but not really very good. I played in a few USCF tournaments in the early 70s--not enough to get a rating, provisionally rated in the low 1500s. Had no real outlets to play after high school, but had fondness for the game. I've been playing some with my Scouts in recent years, counseling their merit badge, but that's the extent of it.

The only advice I could share is to do what I've been doing recently (when time permits) is to study the games of great players, and learn what they do, and why they do it. From doing that, even though I haven't played actively in many years, I think I ight be a better player now than I was back in the days. My 2cts.
