Bio
I stand with the Ukrainians.
I've been playing chess since before the Fischer-Spassky boom of the early 1970s. My play has been sporadic since then. Up until an over-the-board tournament a couple months ago I hadn't played for around 20 years. I'm really enjoying the game now.
I'm retired after working as a prison school teacher for more years that I care to admit. There are few time constraints with the number of opponents now! Thanks to RHP for its fine site.
