Member of Iglesia Ni Cristo. I am also an amateur photographer and chess player getting back into online chess. My username is about making a "Mouse Slip." I make mistaken moves by rushed mouse clicks from time to time. It's a phonetic play on the term rather than a statement about rodent anatomy. It's official... I have retired to the Philippines and I am enjoying life with my children and grandchildren!

I am a "Senior Sustainer" which is a special subset of "Adult Improver." I prefer long games so that I can meet my training requirements in the Chess Dojo. Unfortunately there is no Classical Rating here so I play my long games on Lichess. Same username. Look me up and maybe we will play a long game there.

Here I have decided to change from playing 5+5 to 10-minute because I can get a pairing much faster that way. I've also found that I play better if I analyze how I played in the game I just completed rather than jumping immediately into another, so I seldom accept rematch requests. This also gives me a chance to update my repertoire on chessbook.
