playBunny: hey thanks very much. why do people play so many at once .especially chess.? i don`t know i like to play & kibbutz. its like the old men in the park .they all have clocks& play lightning chess.you need to contemplate.make plans .to me chess is a 1 on one thing .ok maybe 2 at once. otherwise you`re just going down the line .move move move. no time for chit chat .how well can you play that way.to each their own. thanks again for the info. mookster
