I like playing Chess and used to play Table Tennis to a reasonable level but sadly a major back operation has curtailed that, but at least I am mobile, and after major open heart surgery in 2022 I am so lucky to have a second chance. I am a Vintage Motorcycle Enthusiast of many years, Ariels being my favourite m/c. I have three motorcycles, 1942 Ariel WNG 350cc, a 1960 Ariel Leader 250cc (hence my chess name) and a 1963 LE Velocette 192cc. Joined the site 16 years ago and am still enjoying the competition. I still need to work on my openings. If I can stay with the opening and not make too many mistakes I will give you a good game. My endgame is my greatest asset. My style of play is usually cautious but can sometimes be very impulsive bordering on the suicidal! This can get me into trouble. Still, you must speculate to accumulate! Great site and have made loads of friends around the globe especially GK from France. You know who you are..........................! Foxy!!!
