I learned to play chess when i was 10, had drifted away from it completely by the time i was 20, as by that time the people closest to me were either non players or just not interested enough to play. Two years ago i taught my daughter to play for her school chess club, and that got me back into the game.

Let me see...hobbies.....where to start......I love horror films, my favourites include "The hills have eyes" ORIGINAL, and "The texas chainsaw massacre" ORIGINAL. Favourite horror directors include Tobe Hooper and Wes Craven. I do NOT like OTT gore/violence etc, i believe a GOOD horror is all about what you do not see. I like comedies also, reading (not just horror), music, sunbathing (if and when possible), and playing chess. My favourite authors are John Saul, Stephen Laws, Guy N Smith and Dean Koontz. I hate sport...especially watching, absolutely bores the life out of me. I work in the..........no, actually I think thats enough....cant give everything away.........

.............oh ok, I work in the electrical component sector.

I also like to play my chess games straight through........there are no minimum moves with me.
