I work as a strategy consultant and often have to travel so apologies if I don't respond immediately.
In 2022 I am probably around 1550-1650 I sometimes perform better if I play fewer games and think deeply. If I play fast probably around 1450. Over the board ~1400? My friend Piers beats me about 40% of the time if it isn’t online. So your best strategy is to get me to play fast.
One move a day, usually in the evening (as work permits). You can expect the first 7 moves to be quite fast.
If you are a subscriber, I WILL claim timeout after 24h if there is no vacation flag. If you are not a subscriber, let me know you are on vacation and I will honour this for the period stated. If you don't I will wait at least 24h before claiming time out.
