Rob, this is not the real Tim Hanke. It's our new multi-named
impostor. He'll probably do your name name next.

I think 3, 5 & 8 are rubbish.
and 4 & 6 are at best dubious!
There are some right thickos who are good at chess.

as for 9 well you can easily learn how to play but be completely rubbish.
The real learning comes when you try to improve and this isn't easy at all
(unless you have huge natural talent).
But I enjoyed the nice upbeat tone of your post and its honourable intention
of getting people to play : )

The imposter from "Crna Gora NNTPCache groupie" is using the name Tim
Hanke this time, that's what Taylor Kingston is trying to say.

Everybody knows that Tim Hanke is not an imposter, however, his name
is being used by the OP.
