About Me:

I am an MIT-trained aeronautic engineer but have since veered into petrochemical engineering. I own and run an oil services company and a refrigerator/TV assembly plant. Worked with Aerospace, Shell and Exxon and love what I do for a living. I love chess for expanding my horizon and driving useful friends my way. Describing myself in a nutshell, I'd say I'm simple and easy, fit and able... and all I've done, all my life, is love and adore people. I will sum up my style of play this way: I always want to know, why did they make that move? As soon as I figure it out I build my response around the answer. That said, I think I'm one of the originals, I don't really need Kasparov or Bobby Fisher, all I need to know is why they made that move... so now, would you like to make that move?
