I really enjoy the patterns and puzzles of Chess. I am no tactical wizard, but chess is really just pieces supporting pieces, the big gestalt! Recognizing patterns and understanding what they do. I've been playing chess on this site for over four years and have very limited experience before that. I love the game and look forward to the next game.

I'm a father of 4 beautiful kids with one at the University of Arizona (so proud). I live on a beautiful island where we gather food from as close to home as we can. We raise our own chickens for meat as well as for eggs, milk cows and goats, make cheese.....this is the good life! If you want to check out my radio show sometime I am on every Friday morning from 8-10 am with a repeat every Saturday night from 8-10 pm. I play folk, singer song-writer, dusty classics, and anything else I think will fit in. Stream us at www.kloi.org

Live a full life.
