[Despot of the Delta]

I am so dying to play...

Finding someone to play is like finding a needle in a haystack these days.

I have not had a good game in the last five years, except my nephiew kicking my butt in a single game.

I need a partner that is willing to play every week, at least. None available. I cant even find anyone currently in my circle of association that knows how to play. Tossed a maple/chestnut board with granite pieces last year.

Even my wife will not try to learn.

My father and brother play, but have no time.

It is a sad thing.
