Now living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I grew up in several places in Canada and the U.S. as my father was in the Canadian navy. I learned chess at 12 and played in high school and the RA club in Ottawa, but my rating never rose above 1500. I've come back to playing only recently (I'm now in my 50's, born the same year as Kevin Spraggett).

Now I live and work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Not much opportunity to play here yet, but I'm hoping.

PhilFeeley: <<Eyal: > <alexmagnus: <though actually the game lasted 33 moves, 6 more than Moiseenko's win against a 2574 player in the second round>>> That still doesn't explain why an almost 2700 player was paired against a 1500 player. I would never expect that to ...

PhilFeeley: <pbercker: There's a spectacular picture on the front page of Chessbase of this massive rock overlooking the fjords of Norway ...> There's an interesting video of Carlsen playing there against someone with one of those large, outdoor chess sets. I was worried the whole time
