Nov-09-08  missionmankiwi: I am Jonathan Adams. I used to live in New Zealand but now live in Dee Why in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. Past Games Captain and arbiter at the Manly Chess Club where I am still a member.
Nov-10-08  Benzol: <missionmankiwi> Welcome to the site Jonathan. Hope you enjoy your time here. Were you aware that you actually had some games in the database? I'm a bit puzzled by the first game played in 1973. Is that one really you?

:)

Nov-11-08  missionmankiwi: Hi Benzol. No, the first game is some other Jonathan Adams. All the rest are me. Yes, I was aware there were games of mine here. But not enough wins! I shall have to address that and redress the balance!

If I need to be distinguished from the JA who played corr in 1973 (I played corr, but later)then this site could make me Jonathan M Adams.

Oct-07-14  missionmankiwi: Thanks for reminding me of that win against Aram! He still plays at North Sydney. Nowadays I am living at Penrith and playing at Rooty Hill RSL Chess Club (both western Sydney).
Jan-14-15  Benzol: <missionmankiwi> Jonathan did you play in the Premier Reserve tournament in 1985? I have a game here between Greg Aldridge and a J Adams and wondered if it was you?
Mar-29-16  Benzol: Happy Birthday Jonathan.
