Introduction

My name is Jeremy Cone and I am from Ontario, Canada. I've been playing chess for around 7 years now and play all the time.

[Me!!]

While the number of web pages on the internet are forever growing in number, I found found few which offer the beginning chess player the ability to learn the rules of the game, and learn to play better chess. The purpose of this web site is just that, to help you play better chess. I hope you enjoy it, and why not drop me a byte or two?
