About ojw

Strength: I am a weakish chess player, slightly below club player standard.

Opening: Very weak.
Middle game: my strongest point.
End game: weak, especially in rook endgames.

Correspondence chess policy
I resign lost games, except if I believe there is a reasonable chance for a swindle, or if you ask me to resign.
I try to move once per day, except over weekends, but I do not expect you to move daily. I am patient.

Software used:
No chess engines while the game is in progress
Scid, to track progress and analyse (Skidlet move suggestions turned off)
Fritz 11 to compare my own analysis to, after the game is finished
Chessmaster X for club-like fun. (No dissing the ChessMaster before you have personally beaten him at his best.)

Chatting

I enjoy the occasional chat. Sometimes however, I will honestly not see your messages, and respond too late!

Favourite chess player: Boris Spassky, for his talent, character and strong principles.
