PaulLovric Member since Apr-15-05 · Last seen May-22-13 I am a semi-retired school teacher from Tasmania Australia, I was living and working in Beijing, China in 2012, but now I am back in the cleanest air in the world and am returning to my painting, which is a passion of mine like chess. I have joined the Burnie Chess Club, and tonight is the start of the club championships, i had some success over some of the top players in recent weeks, plus some average performances too. I have been playing chess for about 16 years. But my father showed me how to play when I was young. It was part of his Army training for the communist army of Jugoslavia in the late 50s, he is quite good at it. I did not really understand or enjoy the game until I was in my late twenties and living alone, working in a very isolated fishing village in Tasmania, where I was teaching the children from the town. Soon I started to play chess, mostly online, and with a few locals from the town. Reading about chess history and the great players was a real joy... then Kasparov played Kramnick for the WCC and i followed that daily on "Braingames.com" via the net. I love the net, and now, "All I want to do, ever, is play chess"!!!!

You are the FIRST New Zealander here. I hope to spend a bit of time learning chess this year so I bought a premium membership Apr-28-13    Octavia: < G'day Nigel, why is it that people go on about the "dark squared bishop", isn't a bishop a bishop a bishop?> fancy going to Nigel with a question like that! White & black have a dark quared bishop. They're standing on dark squares, that's all. Originally this piece was an elephant. British people mistook the tusk to mean the robe when a bishop went into carneval mode. In German it turned into a runner (Läufer) May-09-13    PaulLovric: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8E_...
