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. I used to live in the UK and played for Eastbourne Chess Club. I hope to return to the UK in the next few years and continue playing chess for a club in the UK. 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 and have created the Great British Team on chess.com.
