I have been playing chess for over 50 years.
My biggest interest is in correspondence chess.

I strictly follow the rules of every organization/club that I play in!
I am an ICCF International Master (IM) (awarded 2001) and ICCF Senior International Master (SIM) (awarded 2003), and also have an interest in chess publishing. So far, I have authored 6 chess books (all are on Amazon) and I also was the managing editor of Correspondence Chess News (CCN), an online magazine which had a run of 100 issues back in the early 2000's. My name is John Knudsen, and I live in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. I am very pleased to meet you!
