Hi. I'm a 37 year old GP (family doctor) from Glasgow. Just getting back into the game after a few hectic years out. I'm happy to chat about games afterwards especially if you see a glaring mistake! Happy for social chat during game as well. Good luck to everyone!
TIMEOUTS: If the game is making progress and the situation is even and I have enough time, I'll let it continue. If you have a decisive material or positional advantage, I'll offer a draw instead of claiming the skull. In general I'll claim a skull if -the game isn't making progress - if I have decisive advantage but checkmate is a while away - you're winning but have refused the offer of a draw
