There are at least two players, {and potential opponents}; Where excessive time spent; Thinking about 'what' or 'how' to 'play against'; Is probably an unneeded waste of your time.
 
Those two players, incidentally, are; "FeelingUnderTheWeather," and, "NOTWELL." --
 
Ps. Of course.. On the Internet; Those two types of players; Could 'crop-up' at Any Time; And under, Any 'handle'!; It might even be You; One of these days!! --

Do you actually play chess here? I don't think we've ever met over the board yet.

Yep; Under a whole bunch of 'guest handles' which I'll play 'under', depending on my mood. For example; When I don't care to be known as "TEXholdem" {on a given day, night or hour}; I might be "4percentLuck" {which approximates, what playing chess on the Web is!}; "1NukePaperTiger"; Or who knows What; Next!? --
 
Ps. It is ALWAYS Easier, to say 'Your Sorry'; Than to ask {Admin. Brian}, for permission!
