Back in the Habit

It has been a while since I last made a post here. I had since transferred the captainship of Team Philippines (see immediate previous entry), and been away from the boards. Actually, I have been "away" from the boards even while I am still playing, proverbially just "making the moves", which evidently showed in how my rating snowballed down the hill. But now, I have picked up the game again, with enough interest to even write about it again. So, welcome to the new life of All About Chess!
