About Me:
Hi, My name is Michael. I learnt chess from my father when i was six. I gave the game up for 10 years but now im back into it and am totally hooked. I love the complex positions that can arise from the Sicilian openings. I prefer solid positional play over an all out attacking style, however there is always a time and a place for sacrifice usually when you oponent least expects it! To me there is nothing more satisfying than a well played end game. I enjoy the endless challenge that chess brings. Karpov is my favourite World Champion.
Chess is where art and science collide.

Great movie lines:
I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or was it only five? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitment i kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question:
Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Punk?
