| Hello! I'm John and I used to play for my County of Essex in the uk. I reached a bcf grading of 160. I was a late starter and didn't take up chess until reaching my mid thirties. I now play internet speed chess, generally two to three minute games. My Favorite player is Victor Korchnoi because of his somewhat unusual approach, his longevity in the top echelons, and his dogged resourcefulness in the face of frequent time trouble.
I have spent a good proportion of my life in the music business as a guitarist vocalist, performing, songwriting and recording.
I retired from performing a few years ago and I am presently driving trucks, I have recently passed my class 1 test enabling me to drive articulated vehicles.
I enjoy photography, wildlife, cars, motorcycles, computing and gardening.
I find that when I'm playing chess, any problems I might have, completely disappear from my mind because it's such an involving pastime. |
