About Me:
I am a public school teacher. I move the chess pieces around mostly on blind instinct and consider myself a "scrappy beginner". (That deaf, dumb, blind kid sure plays a mean pinball!) If you are wondering why in the world I made that particular move, it was because it seemed like damn good idea at the time. I tend to add more games than I should when I am "in my cups".
