Status:   I am off on a long weekend and shall be back soon. (14 days ago)

Birthday: Nov 2, 1978

Occupation: English Language Teacher

About Me:
I am living, working and studying in Korea. I live in Korea with my wife and son. I have lived here for the last 2 years and expect to be here for a short while. I love learning languages (especially Korean), composing music and of course playing chess.

My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
I am a born again Chess player. I have been playing chess for about 15 years on and off. I started playing chess when I taught myself the moves as a child. Since then I have played chess for local teams and during my time in the RAF I participated with the Combined Services Chess Association. With chess.com I have been able to learn more about tactics, openings and end games. It provides me a chance to play chess where very few people actually play chess in Korea. I hope to continue playing chess when I return back to the UK.
