Not a problem - as long as you can think ahead 3 or 4 (preferably 5 or 6) moves, factoring in variable strategies, you'll be fine.

Can't find JJLehto on chess.com...maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm negoba.

I like the turn-based so I can play a few moves and come back. I'm negoba there.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Cant play for nuts

I used to play. When I was in high school, I worked and went to school in Center City where there's also an active population of people sitting at parks with chess boards waiting to play strangers.

I switched to playing poker instead. Actually, since then I've switched to reading and writing about the theory of poker rather than actually playing it.

I got obsessed with poker for about 6 weeks. I read several books and played online. (I actually learned to like Omaha rather than Texas Hold 'em). I soon realized I didn't have the patience. You have to fold so much to win.

Wierd that poker requires more patience than chess.

Well there's also the added bonus that you can make money playing poker. That can help the patience.

You can make money at chess too. I won $60 at all day tournament once.

One of the more high profile women in chess (Jennifer Shahade) is also an avid poker player. Her stuff is pretty entertaining. She plays simultaneous exhibitions against naked men, etc.

Pretty cool. What I meant to say is that you greatly increase your profit potential by playing poker rather than chess. Also, it allows you to ability to play with a group of your friends. I love both games though. I'm just more interested in things like knights tours and game theoretic modeling of betting patterns than actually playing either game anymore.
