My main hobby is playing Magic: The Gathering. I host a weekly game that has been continuously running for over 8 years. I've taught at least 15 people how to play, and the size of our group has fluctuated from 4 to 8 regular players over the years with a total of about 12 who show up on occasion at least. I also am a huge Minnesota Wild hockey fan - usually attending 1/4 to 1/3 of their home games each year in person and catching almost all the rest on TV.
I used to be very into Chess. In fact, I narrowly missed making the top 50 most active tournament players (in terms of rated games played) in the U.S. during the late '80s. My girlfriend at the time actually made the top 50 list for women by attending most of the tournaments I played in with me. But once I got to grad school and started my career I didn't have time to study/practice/play enough to maintain my strength any more so I mostly gave up. However, my wife found an amateur chess league in our city so I joined a team last month. Maybe I'll end up back playing chess seriously again after dipping my toe back in the water that way. . . .
I also golf, bowl, and play a little electric guitar - all very badly

EBOARD(6) Games Manual EBOARD(6) NAME
eboard - a graphical chess board SYNOPSIS
eboard [-log] [-debug] [-dgtport device ] DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly describes the eboard command. eboard is a graphical chess board. It acts as an interface to chess engines (like GNU Chess, Sjeng and Crafty) and Internet Chess Servers (ICS) like FICS (http://www.freechess.org), and works as a browser for chess games saved as PGN (Portable Game Notation) files. eboard itself is not a chess engine: it won't play games, it will just act as a graphical interface between programs that play games like GNU chess (or ICS servers) and the end-user. To move pieces click on the source square and then click to destination square. Optionally, you may drag the piece from the source to the destination square (you won't see the piece being dragged). To drop pieces on crazyhouse and bughouse variants (ICS-only) right-click the destination square and select the piece to drop from the popup menu. For help with ICS commands consult the server (most of them have online help and help channels). For help setting up associated programs (chess engines, timestamping, etc.) see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/eboard or visit the eboard web site at http://eboard.sourceforge.net. If the documentation is not installed in your system, you can find it in the source dis- tribution, available from the web site. OPTIONS
-log Log network communications to "~/LOG.eboard". Communications held in password mode are not logged. -debug Print miscellaneous debug info to "~/DEBUG.eboard". -dgtport device Use the DGT board connected to the given device. AUTHORS
