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.....

Wow!!! Not only am I not rated...and never studied...and don't have a chessmaster 9000...but, also...I rarely get a chance to play!!!
but...to redeem myself...I will say that the only person I've played that has beaten me in the last ten years or so ( approx. 50 or so games total ) was a regular tournament player ( and I did win one out of the five or six we played )...so...I'm not bad...good enough to beat the average player...but I'm not tournament quality ...
but I'd definitely rather play chess than arcade games!
