About Me:
I learned to play chess aged about seven. I stopped playing when I was about eighteen , but in April 2009 I rediscovered the game, and since then have been loving every minute of it. I also play Xiangqi and am about to learn Shogi. I have five children, paint monkeys and do as little work as I can get away with.
