Introduction
In LA, there are all-night chess tournys at a local donut shop! My skills are terribly rusty since I haven't been able to find other players in Orlando. Would like to observe a few games and analyze some plays for the first meetup or two...
What does chess signify for you?

Honing my strategy and decision-making skills.

How did you learn to play chess?

Big brother, then part of chess team in school.

What entices you to chess?

Camaraderie.

Why is chess important?

Using both sides of my brain. It really needs the exercise. :)

Who were the greatest chess players in History and why?

Kasparov, Fischer, Karpov, Capablanca... I'm currently reading a book about Emanuel Lasker; he was an amazing player despite his political and societal circumstances.
