About Me:
I'm your average school boy who plays chess!
If you want lessons in King's Gambit, give me a message and I'll see what I can do for you, I know most of the lines in it, and I can try and help you with one of the riskiest openings in the book, and the opening where, accepted or declined, it turns out to be an exciting, fun and adventurous game, with many tactics that are played in it!!!
I like King's Gambit and started to play O'kely Scicilian (Take That bluechessmaster!!!) however I'm starting to go off it now :D. I like playing against Scandinavian as it's sooo bad!!! LOL. My pet hate is d4!!! Or should that be d4??? LOL
I started playing last year, and I'm addicted, just like my Dad to beer (LOL, not really), and I wanna become really good, so I REALLY wanna learn about tactics, I think I'm nearly there with the old simple endgames, although I usually don't get 2 them, I've lost aleady, ROFL!
I play for Pete's Potentials in the Bristol and District Chess League, and have created the potential's adventure which is here: http://blog.chess.com/brfc/the-potentials-adventure
This is updated after every league match we play, and it involves tacky nicknames, bad jokes and much more!!!
I enter as many OTB tournaments as I can, so beware Bristolian fans!!!
