Gay, Buddhist, Chess-lover, I don't fit in a lot with mainstream society, but I'm liked for my wry wit, sarcasm and sensitive-listener personality. I've been travelling a lot, back and forth to Thailand where I met my boyfriend over a year ago so the rest of the world can wait for a while. I did backpack around Western Europe, best thing I've ever done - "The greatest discovery one can make is to find oneself". I speak a few languages to various degrees.

"Chess is exercise for the mind, as the gym is for the body"
I am a member of the Met Office Chess Club, Exeter.
I'm estimated at 95ECF, but won my first two games against players rated 95ECF and 90ECF. I believe I'm rated around 120ECF.
Play otb with my best mate since age 11, he plays risky and I play patiently - drama abound.
Chess needs sex appeal to reach a wider audience, so I ask you - ditch the tweed blazers, suede mocca shoes and ridiculous comb-overs! Time to break out the tailored dress shirt, trendy footwear and wet, bedhead look. Together we'll seduce the populous into our world!
