About Me:
I started playing chess a few years ago, when I picked up a beginner's book and learned the rules by myself. My playing style is quite unique, and I'm surprised that I've done well with it. I don't like to play in tournaments (though I have made a lot of money from them), and prefer to play casually. Also, I am an average student, with many interests. I've found this site great because of the community. I have made quite a few friends, although some of their accounts are now inactive. I have and always intend to share my thoughts with everyone through my posts. Please feel free contact me. Email, messages, and notes are all ok. Also, I can only improve the quality of my posts from feedback, so please leave a comment if you can. NOTE: If I do not respond to your questions/comments/concerns, it does not mean that I am ignoring you. I am very busy most of the time, but I will try to reply if possible. Also, I try my best not to write things that are controversial, incorrect, insulting, etc. However, please note that this will occur sometimes and that I am sorry if it does. ~benws

A Study in Stalemate

Submitted by benws on Oct 25, 2009 5:10pm.

There hasn't been much to discuss around here lately. I have noticed a new box when you try to edit an article that says "Publish Date." Does anyone know what this feature does? And does anyone know what the "Main Image" thing when you submit a post ...Read more »
