tappa is on vacation
Last move 15d ago Bio
Live in Dublin, Ireland.
Retired, into lawn bowls, travel, concerts, trying to live within my means !!
I get bored easily so chess keeps the grey cells active. I will take skulls.
In the 1970s I played No.1 board for British Telecomms in the London Leagues, my grading over the board was in the low 2200s, so being able to analyse moves is a def bonus to grading scores on this site.
Just so you know, in Ladder matches, I will normally take the max time allocated.
My chess bible is the book of Modern Chess Openings by Walter Korn, which I purchased back in 1972 - I dare say opening theory and analysis has improved since then ??
Finding it hard going against some of the higher graded players on this site, they make it look so easy !!
Is fearr an t-ádh leat. (best of luck to you)
