For me, the realm of chess is an escape! My favorite chess piece is the chivalrous knight, and then the powerful queen. What are yours? I started Chess.com by playing Vote chess and continue to appreciate the different approaches demonstrated there. Lately have been trying my hand (mouse!) at blitz and rapid chess, but have been blitzed constantly, though I like the pace (in a way...)! However, my very favorite is Daily chess because you get to think through your moves, and sometimes the game can speed up and get intense! Also, you get to know the other player a little! My chess honor was doing well in a graduate school dormitory chess tournament, unexpectedly. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsettling quotation: "Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer." -- Albert Einstein
