Bio
This chess playing format has revived my regular interest in the game, an almost surprisingly enjoyable way to play.
I like to play promptly and boldly. I check my games at least twice most days.
"Chess is the Gymnasium of the Mind"; Blaise Pascal.
My howling blunders engender both searing self-recrimination and a probably unjustified belief that my rating could be higher.
Only an infidel could use a machine against a player in this great game.
I also dabble in wildlife biology ; lately a Pygmy Possum ecology project through a Nest Box Study.
I like cycle touring (and have journals on a great website crazyguyonabike.com) .
