well, to tell you the truth I am half British and half Turkish but i am not addicted... but sometimes I am!

(actaully, I take that back, ive lost so many games in result of addiction!)

definitely not a British thing , i`ve been absent from the game i love until  i got on line cause all my friends are stupid! lol and think chess is sad and dull thats a 20+year stretch,on the few games i played in that period ,i smashed them .. bit different here but i still love it ..

LOL yeah i know the feeling. Im glad u joined my unrated tournament mate! look on the bright side at least u dont lose points this time hahahaha. Chess is fun i know i sometimes find it hard to not play even for a day unless im so busy i havnt got much time to eat let alone play chess hahahaha. Sorry i dont think  there is a cure for this adiction mate lol....
