Just wondering how long have you guys been playing chess? 
I learned when I was little but never really played.
Started playing a bit more freshman year in person and with whatever people I could. Started playing online about 4 years ago on Zone.com, still don't really play that much today. Then this tourney popped up and I thought "heck, why not?

i started playing about 3 years ago...
don't play that often, though. (lack of opponents)
definitely NOT- just speaking the truth

I haven't played chess since I was 9. I'll be surprised if I win any matches.

I really only started playing in the school chess club when I was 12, was in that for 6 years. Nadn't played since I was 18 when I took part in the first tournment. But its all about looking at the board and remembering moves, so it only takes a few games to work of the rust.
