I've been playing chess since I was four. By the age of ten, I was a strong player and people had great hopes for me. I have been getting steadily worse since then...

So, yes, my brain doesn't work as well as it once did, but I enjoy playing on chess.com and in the odd congress. I play mainly on my phone, which is incredibly distracting, but in a good way.

I have a real weakness for playing King's Gambit accepted with 3. Bc4. I have a liking for tactical complexity over long term strategical games, so like anything with an edge to it.

Away from chess, I spend most of my time cooking. I enjoy wine a little too much, play the odd game of tennis, and do a lot of reading, mainly sci-fi on the fiction side, and anything to do with physics and technology. I am also currently doing a second university degree in mathematics, which may or may not be a good idea alongside a full time job. Time will tell...
