About Me:

I'm Tony and I solely run and play for Leeds Chess Club. I have an ECF grade of 118 and my new grade this year is expected to be around 130. I love to play and study chess, my favourite chess books are "Think like a Grandmaster" and "Art of the Middlegame". I play in congresses all over the country (mainly around Yorkshire) and I love the buzz you get from playing OTB chess. Waking up to a full English in the mornings then having a quick smoke at the venue before the morning round kicks off, playing a tough game of chess and then going for a pint. You simply cannot beat it! My chess club, Leeds are currently top of division 2 and we're favourites to win the title this season. This will be the first piece of silverware that Leeds Chess Club have won since I took over! Anyway, if you fancy a game, send me a challenge. I may decline if your rating is too low but you never know, I may accept. Thanks for reading, Tony.
