Good to be back....

Post by JMcDonald »

Hello everyone! Just wanted to say hello and see some old faces. I probably have not seen many of you since 2001 MS State Ty(3-move) 2001GAYP Nationals in Vegas. In 2002 when I graduated H.S., I left for the Air Force and been gone until the past few months. I have been deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq for several months at a time. I still tryed to read my books while I was gone, mostly my Goulds problems..;) ......I look forward to playing in tournaments again and seeing all my olf friends. Thanks.

Welcome back boy and thanks for your service. 8 years in army - hard school. I wish you fast and easy adjustment for normal life and checkers may greatly help you with this. Let me know if you need any help and feel free call me or email. My next ty will be TN in the beginning of March, and then - IL

Regards,

Alex
I am playing checkers, not chess.
