Thanks!
I will 'sticky' this thread so it won't 'glide' down the index
Introduce yourself to this chess site. Let me start to introduce myself to you. I'm having been introducing myself in every sites.
I'm Ray Duque III. I live in New York City. I came to New York City from the Philippines in July 1970. I'm happily married for 33 years and counting. I have two grown up children and they are both working.
I used to appear in the Philippine Movies as a Bit Player in the 1960s. I like to Dance the Ballroom Dancing so much. I also like to play chess and used to play basketball when I was young, cooking, walking, play golf.
I'm now a retired Filipino-American and enjoying it. I visit the Philippines almost every year.
How about you? Please introduce yourself. Don't be shy.

Hi, I generally don't like to talk about myself, but since no body knows me at this site, I might as well digress.
My name is Jacob Reid; I'm 21, and full-time college student. I'll be graduating with Associates in January and then I plan on transfering to universities. No, that's not a mistype... it's a multiple universities. I want to go two schools simultaneously so I can get my major in Astronomy in one and my major in writing in the other. It'll be fun, but I might do something else depending on what my girlfriend does. I love that girl, and I don't know if I can stand another year away from her.
I'm a very active memember in my community. I'm a member of my student government, which involves lots of volunteering and such. I also created a non-profit organization that focuses on raising funds to buy diapers for low-income families. It's cool, but it's a lot of work. And I also have a very strong passion for chess. I quit chess for about 9 years and only within the last 2 months have I returned to this magical game. I'm hooked now, and I'm learning things that I never thought possible when I played as a child. By understanding life, I'm now able to understand chess.
Chess is like a dream.
Maybe I'll explain that philosophy later.
Jacob thanks for introducing yourself
Am looking forward to hearing about that 'chess is like a dream' philosophy
Here I am, too...
Well, I'm chairman and founder of a Chess club. In the past I have been leader of the Lugano Chess team (Switzerland).
Today I engage in the promotion of Chess among the youth, as a volunteer activity.
As for my professional life, I lead a small firm of my own.
What I like about Chess: as in life, they represent opposites: black and white, alpha and omega, good and evil, and so on. No compromises on either side: you've got to choose where to stand. No place for luck.
I look forward to exchange ideas, experiences and whatever with all of you.
(A particularly kind greeting to the highly competent and nice Dame).
Wellll that's sweet of you, scaccopazzo
they represent opposites: black and white, alpha and omega, good and evil, and so on
......... ying & yang? B) opposites BUT keeping each other in balance, not able to 'live' without each other.. that sort of thing?
My name is Chuck Kinzie and I turned the "big 5-0" today!
I have been playing chess for about forty years, and love the game more now than ever before!
I played in my first chess tournament in 1973 and became a USCF Expert (barely!) in 1987 by earning a rating of 2002.
I used to play stodgy, boring chess. But now I play hyper-aggressive (unsound?) chess.
Chesscircle.net is one of my favorite websites. Great job, Dame! (And of course a big "thank you" to all of the wonderful contributors to these forums!)<br><br>Post edited by: Chuckychess, at: 2007/12/05 20:23
