How did you hear about this site? I found it because my friend(rmoss, who no longer plays here) told me about it and at the time we were both really into chess and he thought I would like this site. Well he was right. How about all of you?

I can't even remember how I found Gameknot.
All I know is how much my life has changed since I did. I now look forward to going into work!

I played,and still do at IYT and someone ..don't remember who, told me to take a look at GK.
The rest is history
. I still 'recuit' players from IYT to come over here.
GK .. the best by far.

I found it through a simple search engine. It was really easy and quick to start playing. It also looked very apelative and it had a je ne sais quoi that made it diferent from other chess sites.

I was spying as usual.

I found this site in late december or november 2000.
I was bored. I dare not challenge anybody. I read the forums. Made comments. Found out who mike was before he became gameknot_com ...

My first few games were with doncan, onlyapawn, edmaster ... lost most of the games.

I got addicted from then onwards!

And oh yes ... after several surgeries ... my skull still aches after the 24-game (unfinished) with edmaster.
