About Me:
I love rock music bands including but not exclusively :- Rush, Porcupine Tree, Yes, Thunder, Dream Theater, Marillion, King's X, REO Speedwagon, Led Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company. Playing Badminton and Table Tennis. Watching American sports. Boston Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and The New England Patriots. I have a beautiful wife Dionne and a son Mark. I love the infinite variation of chess. In other sports and games there is a bigger element of luck. In chess it is almost entirely eliminated. It stretches your brain and is mentally stimulating. I have a tendency to play the French Defence as black and The Scotch as white.
