Yea i play chess a lot. Well i used to but then i have a summer holiday break from all things to do with chess then study hard in september to get better. I had a rating of 1600-1700+ before the summer holidays on FIDE ratings but now my chessmaster 9000 doesn't work anymore so i can't study or practice. I used to be good in openings and middle game and studied the endgame in detail. Now i've even forgot some techniques like fianchettoed bishops and positional analysis. If only chessmaster worked.....
