About Me:
I am a musician, writer and free improvisor.
My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
Chess is serious play. I like serious players with a sense of humour. You learn more from playing players who are better than you, but it is also your duty to enable others to lose. I am not interested in tournaments as yet, I play for fun and to learn.
On openings, I am going right back to basics in an attempt to understand them more fully. Having said that, I can't help attempting the odd one that I know nothing about, out of curiosity.
Favourite players? Kasparov, Fischer, Tal, Susan Polga. Being English, I do have to admire Short though, especially his fight against Kasparov. I found that truly inspirational.
