Note to all RHP players: I detest people who like to claim time-outs: I'm a real chess lover but unfortunately don't have an internet connection available at all times. If you like to win on time-outs: do NOT challenge me!
I am a PhD student in physical chemistry at Leiden University, The Netherlands. I've learned the game only 6 months ago (sep 2005) but recently joined one of the best chess clubs in the country. I hope this site will improve my play.
