We played a few games of chess at Auburn Central State School in about 1962-3. I have noted your successes from a distance. I did continue with chess at secondary school becoming the school chess champion. I didnt continue at Uni, finding other "distractions"! However I did come back to chess with the internet in 1999 when I was laid up with a broken leg (from skateboarding! - seemed a good idea at the time!). I became addicted to 2 minute speed games for a year or two - I rated about 1400. I have since weaned myself from the addiction but still occasionally read a chess column and occasionally see your name. I live in Hobart now but often visit Melbourne. Perhaps we could catch up some time? My email is stevebennett100@yahoo.com.au. Best wishes, Steve
