Chronicles of a Late-Blooming Child Prodigy

I'm an unrelenting aficionado of Chess, Toastmasters and acoustic music (Celtic and Bluegrass--Turquoisegrass?). Audio and Video Blogging gives my visitors a chance to hear and see my triumvirate of interests in action. Cheers! --GT

My recurring illusions of grandeur: (1) winning a state-level chess tournament, (2) winning the World Championship of Public Speaking, and (3) playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the guitar at the Annual Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Until then, I'll relish all three pursuits with the enthusiasm and fearlessness of a late-blooming child prodigy. :)

Schemingmind Chess Team

WWW.SCHEMINGMIND.COM is an outstanding site for correspondence chess. My user name is gtolle. Since I'm on email daily, making some chess moves over a cup of coffee has become routine. This clever club-oriented chess site has every variant you can imagine and the user interface is the best I've seen.

I started a team called "Weekend Warriors" and we are currently playing a team on Schemingmind called "No Expectations." I've forgotten how fun chess can be. Some of these players are reminding me how painful it can be, too!
