1 flattered to be asked,br /
2 happy to do it,br /
3 hopeful of receiving your suggestions, andbr /
4 grateful for any offers of support.br /
br /
You all know the starting point by now:br /
br /
List three things about playing chess that you are good at (or likebr /

1br /
2br /
3br /

As this is the third time I think I've tried to kick us off in this way, you may well want to:br /

br /c. ask yourself: have I seen any improvement in the things I wrote down
last year? and if not, why not?br /
br /

I'll construct a programme to suit.nbsp; Comment below by all means.br /
