Kettle's game (Farseer and TM spoilers)

[Narya]

I may be playing 24 games simultaneously, but I actually only make a few moves a day, and I keep notes to keep them straight. I play correspondence chess at RedHotPawn.com. Feel free to come challenge me - sign up is free if you keep to 6 games or less. You can probably guess my username.

I'm not a particularly good player, because I'm more interested in having a good time than in winning, hence I lose more than I win. I play better when I flip the board and try to be my opponent, figuring out his best strategy, then flipping back and moving in a way that preempts that move.

There's actually a relief in being in check - it brings such clarity to the game when I have precisely one or two moves available.
