Alright folks, there is already one of these over on the Russian boards that I'm somewhat involved in, but I thought it would be cool to play some chess with my fellow ManU's. I play the long version moving 1-2 times a day on www.redhotpawn.com , and the quick version playing an entire match in 5-10 minutes on www.uchess.com . Both are free to sign up and are quality services. My name is, of course, Howard Zinn (note the space) on both. Would any of you be up for some chess? Some of you definitely seem like the chess type.

Yeah, I probably am a bit of a let-down compared to nice, but I have no qualms with my sucking.
I just moved, but you have me beat.

The last time I played chess, I lost to my sister-in-law's 6 year old. So, I think I'll pass. :D (In fairness, they play chess ALL the time in his family, but still . . . ).
But here's somethin for you, Zinn.

That's pretty wicked. Probably out of my price range, but very cool none the less.
There is no way you are worse than me. Sign up and play sapph.

The queen? ;)
It'd be cool if Denis Law was the king on the 1968 team.

Alright, I haven't played this in years even though I grew up with this game. I'm up for it, whoever wants to play.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to play a quick match right now, then go here www.uchess.com . If you want to play a 1-2 move a day match, then go here www.redhotpawn.com . My name is Howard Zinn on both.
