Hi, am 55yo male living in Louth, Lincs. Have played chess since I was 6, but did not keep it up until later years. I now play chess in the local club and for my Town. Have just started to play properly on here, and not treat games as practice for trying out things. Hence gain in grade (contrary to other peoples beliefs about using chess engines. This is not allowed on here, I do use one to go over games to improve my play). I have a national grading. Electronic designer since leaving school and Univ. Recently turned to teaching electronics. Was born and raised in SE London, lived 200yards from and have supported Millwall FC since.
