Golly.


To the original topic:
I was hooked on ICC for quite some time. Mostly the 1-minute bullet ('video-game-chess' as I called it).
Good times.

I have since given it up (and let my membership expire last year) for poker.
I enjoy chess more...but poker is more profitable (except when one is in a downswing of course).


I'm only 1600 or so at bullet-chess on ICC but I remember some of my big wins over 2400 and higher rated players.

Would love to get back into chess some if/when I build my poker-bankroll to a more comfortable level.
As it stands now, I would feel guilty playing chess...because it would take away from the time I need to spending making money at poker (either playing or studying).
