I'm 55 and happily married to my best friend Betty. I've been playing chess...should say trying to play...since 1973 where a good friend from Louisiana (Larry) taught me the basic moves. Not a total rookie but not very accomplished either. Always open to good discussions and advice. I'm not a great talker, but just look at my ears...I know how to listen. The best to all of you. Feel free to challenge me and I'll oblige.
