Learned chess in college. Played in about 20 USCF tournaments soon after learning. Think my highest USCF rating was mid 1700's. Went through several spurts of focused study. Played many 5 min. blitz games with local chess group. Began beating mid 2200 rated masters. Had some wins against 2365 USCF rated player. Enjoy chess now mostly for fun. Do not take it as serious as I once did. Curious as to where my rating might be at currently. Still study occasionally. Often solve problems at a tactical chess server.
