The World Does Not Revolve Around Chess

Happy New Year!!

I know that most of you are serious about chess. Some of you probably see chessboards and moving pieces when you look up at the ceiling. Some of us are just casual players though. And some are just curious about chess.

But when the cellphones and computers are off, and chessboards are tucked away, what else do you do in your alternate universe?

I’m a Registered Nurse in my real universe and just came here as a casual player to pass time during this pandemic.

What about you?

At the moment I'm trying to fend off numerous advances from girls.

When NovitiateOne asked me for a date a few hours ago, I had to be straight with her :- "You're a really nice person, but I just don't feel any attraction to you. Can we just remain as friends?" happy.png

Nice one! 😂

I just play chess 24/7 so idk what you're talking about with that ludicrous title.

Wee bit patronizing.

Personally, chess is a second game that I picked up last year while working long hours.

NovO might be a casual player, but she might have a severe case of stalling, because after 12 days, she still hasn't played her First Game. happy.png

 

I wouldn't want to be a gunshot victim turning up to her hospital  :- "Well, Mr Jones, you're certainly bleeding a lot, but I've got a golf game in 2 hours and then I'm hitting the clubs. Could you come back in about a week, if you're still around, and we'll see what we can do". happy.png

Lol! I am not stalling. It’s just, everyone seems to be scared to challenge me because of my unbeaten record. 😜

And for the record, I am one of the most requested nurses in the hospital for some reason. Maybe because I bore them and can put them to sleep faster. 😂

Not scared if I offer several challenges over a few days and all of them are declined. Not stalling...either you are really busy @NovitiateOne (which I understand because I'm really busy most of the time too) or you never really intend to play at all grin.png

I could give you benefit of the doubt, but understand that if I play then it is more for your benefit than mine. I have many friends to analyze with, so I just thought I'd be generous and offer that same for others (if anyone else wants someone to learn chess with or offer some advice, I'm usually open - just message me that you found me by this forum post so I know to accept the friend request xD). @NovitiateOne How about you message me if you are up for an unrated game or two and we could set something up if I'm not busy at that time? I won't keep bothering you with game challenges, but hey no hard feelings. 

See ya around chess.com happy.png
