yes, sometimes i am slightly toasted while playing. i'm half slovak and half polish and both sides of my family have been in america for like three generations or so. one possible goal for me might be to return to eastern europe with a boatload of cash and open a decent pizzeria and bar. or just bar. or just pizzeria. whichever. as for chess i prefer to molest the beginners. this may seem cruel, but in reality i am providing valuable lessons to the uninitiated, free of charge.
