@Skematica it's kind of a funny story. A neighbor guy signed me up for the US Chess Federation, and then his son whipped my butt in a "tournament" at his house...
So now I'm in the rolls, even though I've only played one game in the last 10 years. XD
@Skematica The US Chess Hall of Fame is here in STL, and 2nd place in the int'l tournament was from STL last year, so I feel an affinity to chess like I do BBQ sauce (which I like to eat because we're known for it).
