About Me:

10-15 years ago, I was a very active OTB club & tournament player in Pennsylvania and North Carolina.  Real Life doesn't allow the time for that anymore, but the discovery of correspondence-chess here has rekindled my interest in the game.


Today's Scotch Variation: Bowmore 12-Year


I most enjoy playing in tournaments.  I have a special fondness for thematics with goofy names/themes:

The Siege of Leningrad

My Benoni Has a First Name

"Modern" and "Steinitz" Don't Go Together

The Dark Knight Opens

Strawberry (Grun)felds Forever
