I live in Derby, England. I was recruited by Exy off of the Twin Peaks Gazette chat forum. I am unschooled in chess and all of the fineries in life, but I aim to improve my playing with a bit of practice. Until I read these profiles, I wasn't aware that one could use a computer to aid playing chess, so it's safe to say I don't use those programs. I'm into high culture, low culture and what's in between. I exist as a wage slave. I support West Ham United Football Club. Up the Hammers!
