About Me:
I started playing chess with my dad when I was 4 or 5 and he used to give me queen odds. I was a pretty reasonable junior player, I played county chess for Hertfordshire and club chess for Letchworth. Played for my University first team and then back to club chess once I graduated. I am a much better quick player (see my blitz ratings 2000+) than at longer time controls. I can think fast but make too many mistakes in longer forms of the game. I fell out of love with chess a bit as I felt that the openings have become too over analysed and the first 10 moves are a memory test. The middle game is my strongest part of the game. I enjoy the tournaments and live chess here but I no longer play over the board.
