About Me:

I enjoy Chess.com !!

I have met great people had great games Yo !!

I am one of the older persons of life, good yes to reach it !!

I have two of my grandchildren starting to play and they are both members here.

I am a ships cook working  one month on and then one month off.

I got a computer a while ago but only recently I put in chess and found Chess.com I have tried some of the others but this is the best. After a short while I took out a membership and am enjoying all the benefits.

Since joining the site it has rekindled my interest in chess which I took up when I was very young and now I am about to play over the board chess again at my local club I have also become a member of Chess Scotland our national Association and have been given an over the board rating of 1005 (no games played) which I hope to improve on.

I have been to my local club and played most of the members some of whom are still their from my previous time with the club. I won my first championship game before I came away back to sea.It was a very hard struggle and I was shaking like a leaf.

Yes a very big thank you to my friends at chess.com I think I may be a better over the board player now as I have learned much things  about the game and life.Undecided

I very seldom miss a day here. I used to play backgammon and poker online but now just chess and I have more money in my pocket Cool

Yes I am me but a better person for my time on Chess.com WinkLearning more every daySmile

I am just getting used to some of the great features on the site :))
