About Me:
Work for a firm that makes safes. My other hobbies are football ( soccer to you yanks ), hill walking, reading and music ( punk, metal and dance ). Got into chess when a late aunt of mine bought me a magnetic chess set one christmas in the 70's. There was also a few TV programmes on at the time devoted to the game. in the 80's i bought a ZX spectrum and one of the pieces of software that came with it was psion chess which i used the most. And in the 90's i joined the local chess club as a way of keeping out of the pub which worked to an extent.
