I prefer to win Endings, but lately the Middle Game has become of interest to me. As for Openings, I mostly play what I like, and do not go in for what is fashionable. For me, fashionable might be a line in the 1940's.
Film Noir (1941-1959) is my favorite genre. I have a good collection of these old movies for the Home Library.
Other Hobbies: Reading, Martial Arts, and Bowling.
