OK> I'm looking for someone who would play against me. My rate is OK> something OK> around 1850. Hi. I understand people get games quite quickly, but if you're still after a game then I'll happily play you. I'm not sure what my rating would be these days. I'd estimate around 1600-1800 Elo or 1700-1900 USCF. [game 1, white: Koskinen, black: Alger] 1. e2-e4 e7-e6 2. ??? [game 2, white: Alger, black: Koskinen] 1. e2-e4 ???

I hope this is acceptable, and I bid you, us, a good game. I call frequently, almost daily. and I will give you my devotion. Where do you live? Where r u calling from? age? Occupation? rating? I drive truck, live in Walls, MS, am 33, and am rated 1402 USCF. But, I am playing better than this, as I scored a 2nd place finish yesterday in Jackson MS with 3.5 out of possible 5 pts in the 1300-1700 section. I hope this doesnt' frighten you away. Let's play.
