Same here. Well it was 20-ish years ago I stopped, after embarrassingly having been too hung over to be able to appear at an important game.
Anyway, having played WitE since it came out, I can safely say I'm better at that than I ever was at chess.

Status: offline 		I've had occasional spells when I've been quite keen on chess, I can't dedicate myself enough to become very good though, also my memory is poor which is a handicap at the higher levels of the game.I'm probably about 1500 ELO (ish).
I do think that chess has tremendous relevance in some ways to the tactical aspects of warfare.Control of the center, gaining of tempo, concentration of force etc.

Exactly. Gave it up when I discovered Tactics II.
