About Me:
*A BASF Christian, chess maverick & rogue player whose mottos are: "The Best Defense is a Strong Offense!"(Captain James T. Kirk of the StarShip U.S.S Enterprise NCC1701) & "Each Game is a New Adventure!"(My own words). A real challenge to play over-the-board combining: sharp & radical; unconventional; unpredictable; & unorthodox styles of play - prefer to "think outside of the box"! Chess is my most favorite hobby! Began to play chess more seriously after watching the 1972 World Chess Championship Match between GrandMasters Bobby Fischer (USA) & Boris Spassky (USSR) - which was billed as the: "Chess Match of the Century"(USA vs USSR - a real first then!) - broadcast from Rekjavik, Iceland and watched on TV here in America Live! A new idea back in the Twentieth Century! [*BASF = Born Again & Spirit Filled]
