About Me:

Hello, my name is John. I have worked for US Postal Service for 31 years. 6 years ago, I landed a position in Information Technology, and I'm loving it. I recently received my BS in Computer Science at age 46! I enjoy exercising, reading, classic horror movies, and the Boston Red Sox. I learned to play chess while watching Shelby Lyman host the PBS show covering the 1972 Fischer-Spassky world championship. Chess' popularity exploded in the US during this period. I have played on and off since then with my highest USCF rating being over 2000. As black, I like the Caro-Kann and the Cambridge Springs defenses. As white, I prefer the e4 Kopec System or the Rossilimo Sicilian.  Thanks for viewing my profile.
