Occupation: Graphic Designer
I am a graphic designer by profession and have always loved things that improve the mind. I learned chess from my father many years ago, and play it as often as I can. Chess is a battle of intrigue, tactics, skill and a little bit of luck all rolled into one. It is a game where you can be humbled with one move, or triumph as you see your wit unfold before you for victory. I find it keeps me sharp as I get older - you know - use it or lose it. My other passion in life is the sport of soaring - the real way to get high! In a lot of ways it is a lot like chess. You are playing against the weather. The better you are the longer you fly.
Remember:
Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. - Napolean Bonaparte
Well done is better than well said. - Benjamin Franklin
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog. - Dwight D. Eisenhower
