I've been playing chess since I was about ten, which would be about 20 years. I played regularly against my dad until I finally beat him after about 20 matches. I did well in some tournaments in middle school, and I haven't played much since. Actually, I did play my bro-in-law this year, but I don't remember who won; It was a great match though. I am thoroughly enjoying playing online and rejuvenating my love for the game, but I'm more looking forward to the next time I can play a face-to-face matchup.
