Damenlaeuferbauer
Member since Oct-15-17

My name is Markus Jakobi, I am 57.5 years old and living in Wiesbaden, which is the capital of Hesse and a town 40 kilometres away from Frankfurt/Main in Germany. I am playing mail chess since I have been 14.5 years old (+33, =62, -18), but from 1982 until 2015 without computer assistance. My mail chess rating is Elo 2089 from 48 evaluations and my favourite chess players are Francois-André Danican Philidor (France), Wolfgang Uhlmann (Germany), Lev Polugaevsky (Russia), Robert James Fischer (USA), Anatoly Karpov (Russia), Stefan Kindermann (Austria/Germany), Thomas Bohn (Germany), Garry Kasparov (Russia), Stefan Meyer (Germany), Uwe Kettner (Germany), Zdenko Kozul (Croatia), Igor Khenkin (Russia/Germany), Dirk Emmerich (Germany), Vladimir Kramnik (Russia), and Elisabeth Paehtz (Germany). I consider Garry Kasparov, Robert James Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, and Francois-André Danican Philidor as the four strongest chess players in history. My openings with white are the English (10), King's Indian (8), Volga-Benko Gambit (6), Queen's Gambit Declined (5), Modern Defense (5), Semi-Slav (3), Queen's Indian (3), Nimzo Indian (3), Chigorin (3), Dutch (2), French (2), Queen's Gambit Accepted (2), Ruy Lopez (2), Black Knight's Tango (1), Bogo Indian (1), Grunfeld (1), and Modern Benoni (1), and my openings with black are the Sicilian (10), French (6), Semi-Slav (5), Nimzo Indian (5), Volga-Benko Gambit (4), Queen's Indian (4), Caro-Kann (4), King's Indian (3), Giuoco Piano (3), King's Indian Attack (2), Queen's Gambit Accepted (2), Blackmar-Diemer Gambit (1), Four Knights (1), English (1), Colle (1), Ruy Lopez (1), Van Geet Opening (1), and Modern Benoni (1).
