About Me:

I'm a Construction Manager from Cardiff in South Wales, the home of the Millenium Stadium! I have 4 beautiful children and an absolutely brilliant and gorgeous wife and I love spending time with all of them! When I dont, I'm a typical lad.......love my sport, my beer, playing poker and of course chess, to get away from it all I like nothing more than to cook, accompanied with a bottle of wine or a cold beer........ummmmmm!

Oh, Dino is the best too! If there was another word for cool, it would be Dean Martin!

Chess helps me focus, I like the analytical aspect of the game along with the tactical element involved. I enjoy nothing more than "when a plan comes together" on the board. I try and play a balanced game, keeping my attacks constant and strong, at the same time keeping a tight defense which is not afraid to counter attack!

Finally Breached the 1200 Mark!

Submitted by MrBogs on Jan 7, 2009 12:35pm.

OK, this might not be a big deal to most chess.com users, but after a year of playing and hanging around the 1000-1100 mark and hitting an all time low of about 870 I finally breached the 1200 mark! Yes I'm happy, not with the rating as such but with...Read more »
