I am a 59 year old auto technician and have been playing chess for 40 years on and off. Did not have time to continue playing otb and have just recently found this site. Only other hobby is lake trout fishing--caught 32 fish in september--the largest weighing 16 lbs. My largest fish caught(freshwater) is a 41 lb. King salmon...took 49 minutes to boat the sucker.
