Retired geezer with a bit too much time on his hands.
Coming back to chess recreationally after a 40 year hiatus. Encouraged to start chess by the Fischer v Spassky world championship match. Encouraged to return to chess by the YouTube work of Eric Rosen, GothamChess and GingerGM, who are doing great stuff.
Favourite players: Fischer, Karpov, Botvinnik, Morphy
Favourite chess book: Simple Chess by Michael Stean, a well-written book about chess strategy and also a love letter to Mikhail Botvinnik, who the author clearly idolises.
