Re: learning chess
I used to play a lot of chess, but then I discovered poker.
Here's some advice which isn't useful to you, but may be to other rusty chessplayers:
Sick of having to play 1. e4 and having to memorize a zillion variations to defend against Sicilian, French, Alekhine's, god knows what else? Sick of having to memorize 15 moves into your 1. d4 variation? Play 1. c4!
The good thing is that in my experience, no one below FM level really knows what to do against this opening.
